+118687 Here is the commutative law.
Which fits this description?
You can answer that for me
+1008 I just need a sec for it to load I know the communative property is
The Commutative Property of Addition says that the order of the addends in a sum does not matter.
The Commutative Property of Multiplication says that the order of the factors in a product does not matter.
You can use the commutative properties to help you create an equivalent algebraic expression.
Rule
Commutative Property of Addition: a + b = b + a
Commutative Property of Multiplication: ab = ba
The commutative properties allow you to switch the order in a sum or product in an expression to suit your needs without changing the value of the expression.
But the Problem is it is a real Problem not just with the letters so I dont know howyou would do a real one my lesson only taught Associtive Property....

+118687 You wrote this f:
Commutative Property of Multiplication: ab = ba
So there has to be one thing multiplied by another thing. Then the 2 are swapped around on the other side of the equal sign.
(Remember that a dot is a multiply sign)
So which one do you think is right?
OR which ones are you pretty sure are wrong ?
+1008 It is the fourth one Melody \
Because it is changing up the order alittle
+1008 I know the third is not correct
the second is in correct
\
And I belive the First is incorrect
Is this Correct Melody?
+118687 The first one has 12a-6 on the right side. This is not (one thing) X (another thing.) So it is not right
the third one is not correct either. Why??
Which one is first thing x second thing = second thing x first thing ??
+118687 Show me how you think the forth one works
left hand side is (3*4a) - 2 What two things are multipled here.
One thing is (3*4a) the other thing is (2) there is a minus sign between them. NOT a times sign!
+129907 Don't over-think this , Nickolas!!!
Your first answer of "the second one" was correct......!!!!
Let a = 3
Let b = ( 4a - 2)
So
3*(4a - 2) = (4a - 2)*3
a*b = b*a
+220 The commutative property of multiplication says that a*b = b*a.
Because of this, the answer is the 2nd one.
