State the commutative property of multipication, and provide an example using two different numbers

Step-by-step explanation: The commutative property of multiplication states that changing the order of the factors does not change the product.

Example:

4 × 10 ≈ 10 × 4

If we multiply both these numbers together, we will get the same answer which is 40. This means that 4 × 10 must be equal to 10 × 4.

Example:

3 × 2 ≈ 2 × 3

Both of the answers will equal 6 which means that they are equal to each other.

b

step-by-step explanation:

given

- 2 (3x + 12y - 5 - 17x - 16y + 4 )

simplify the parenthesis by collecting like terms

= - 2 (- 14x - 4y - 1) ← distribute the parenthesis by - 2

= 28x + 8y + 2 → b
