Complete the equation, and tell which property you used
Hi, my son's answer: He put 14 on the question mark and wrote associative property of multiplication and he got .5 credit for each answer.
Can you please help?
Thank you

The left side isn't clear with two equal signs. Therefore, I will give two possible answers.
If it is 8 x (14 x 7)=14 x (8 x 7), that is the associative property of multiplication.
They may have wanted the product, which is 784.
If it is 8 x (14+7)=? + (8 x 7), then it should be (8 x 14)+ (8 x 7), which is the distributive property of multiplication. There, the 8 is multiplied by each of the terms in the parentheses and the two products are added. That answer is 112+56=168, which is 8 x 21.
