To apply the Commutative Property, we can only change the order of the terms being added or multiplied.
Starting with the expression 8+9f−2+6f−8f−4+12, we can group the like terms together:
(8−2−4) + (9f+6f−8f) + 12
= 2 + 7f + 12
Thus, applying the Commutative Property generates the expression 2 + 7f + 12.

You are right, I apologize for the mistake. The correct application of the Commutative Property would involve rearranging the order of the terms being added.
Starting with the expression 8+9f−2+6f−8f−4+12, we can group the like terms together:
(8-2-4) + (9f+6f-8f) + 12
= 2 + 7f - 8f + 12
Now, we can rearrange the terms using the Commutative Property:
= 2 + 12 + 7f - 8f
Thus, applying the Commutative Property generates the expression 14 - f.
Starting with the expression 8+9f−2+6f−8f−4+12, we can group the like terms together:
(8-2-4) + (9f+6f-8f) + 12
= 2 + 7f - 8f + 12
Now, we can rearrange the terms using the Commutative Property:
= 2 + 12 + 7f - 8f
Thus, applying the Commutative Property generates the expression 14 - f.

I apologize for the mistake once again. Let's apply the Commutative Property correctly:
Starting with the expression 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12, we can group the like terms together:
(8 - 2 - 4) + (9f + 6f - 8f) + 12
= 2 + 7f - 8f + 12
Now, let's rearrange the terms using the Commutative Property:
= 12 + 2 + 7f - 8f
Thus, applying the Commutative Property generates the expression 14 - f.
Starting with the expression 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12, we can group the like terms together:
(8 - 2 - 4) + (9f + 6f - 8f) + 12
= 2 + 7f - 8f + 12
Now, let's rearrange the terms using the Commutative Property:
= 12 + 2 + 7f - 8f
Thus, applying the Commutative Property generates the expression 14 - f.

I apologize for the repeated error. Let's apply the Commutative Property correctly:
Starting with the expression 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12, we can group the like terms together:
(8 - 2 - 4) + (9f + 6f - 8f) + 12
= 2 + 7f - 8f + 12
To apply the Commutative Property, we can rearrange the terms being added:
= 2 + 12 + 7f - 8f
Thus, applying the Commutative Property generates the expression 14 + (7f - 8f) which simplifies to 14 - f.
Starting with the expression 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12, we can group the like terms together:
(8 - 2 - 4) + (9f + 6f - 8f) + 12
= 2 + 7f - 8f + 12
To apply the Commutative Property, we can rearrange the terms being added:
= 2 + 12 + 7f - 8f
Thus, applying the Commutative Property generates the expression 14 + (7f - 8f) which simplifies to 14 - f.
