Question 52571: Can someone help me on this problem?
I need to identify the property that is used.
4 * (3 + 2) = (3 + 2) * 4
Is it Associative property or Associate property of addition?
Thanks,
Sher
Answer by Nate(3500) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A good way of knowing an associative property is this: depends how you associate the parenthesis with the values.
(2 + 1) + 3 = 2 + (1 + 3)
Your Example: 4*(3 + 2) = (3 + 2)*4
Are you changing the locations of the parenthesis? No. Your property is communitive.
