actually, the commutative property was used, to get
9x+3+2x−10 = 9x+2x+3-10
9x+3+2x−10 = 9x+2x+3-10

Using the associative property, we can rearrange the terms in any way as long as the order of the operations does not change.
(9x + 3) + (2x - 10) can be simplified by rearranging the terms as follows:
9x + 2x + 3 - 10
Combining like terms, we get:
11x - 7
So, the simplest equivalent form of (9x+3)+(2x−10) is 11x - 7.
(9x + 3) + (2x - 10) can be simplified by rearranging the terms as follows:

You are correct, my mistake. The commutative property was used to rearrange the terms in the expression. So, using the commutative property, we can rearrange the terms as follows:
(9x + 3) + (2x - 10) = 9x + 2x + 3 - 10
Once again, combining like terms, we get:
11x - 7
So, the simplest equivalent form of (9x+3)+(2x−10) is 11x - 7. Thank you for pointing out the error.
