Question 205612: I am completely confused on understanding the differences between
Commutative property Associative property Identity property Inverse property:
Multiplication property of zero Distributive property for Addition and Multiplication. I am given the pictures on ALEKS to see it, but I don't have a written explaination on how to tell the differences when identifying which is which. Is there a simple explaination that someone can help me with to break down each of them? This is confusing me badly and I need help. Please...
