Question 985776: I need help with these problems
X(Yz)=x(zy)
2(x+y)=2x+2y
(X+y)+z=(y+x)+z
(X+y)+z=x+(y+z)
2[x(a+d)]=[2x](a+d)
I need to know which ones are commutative, associative, identity, or inverse

X(Yz)=x(zy):: y and z changed places::: commutative
---------------------
2(x+y)=2x+2y::: mult. by 2 distributed over addition:: distributive
-----------------------------
(X+y)+z=(y+x)+z:: x and y changed places:: commutative
-------------------------
(X+y)+z=x+(y+z):: grouping changes:: associative
----------------------
2[x(a+d)]=[2x](a+d):: grouping changed:: associative
--------------------------------------------
