You can put this solution on YOUR website! What is the Distributive , associative,
and commutative properties for -5(4x-3) ?
------------------
distributive: distribute the multiplication: -5*4x + -5*-3 = -20x+15
-----
commutative : commute means "change places": = 15 - 20x
------
associative: means "vary the grouping" : -5*4*x = -5(4x) = (-5*4)x
------------------------
