Question

Substituting 1 for x in the equation 5x + 3 = x * 5 + 3 is a test case for which property? The Associative Property of Multiplication The Commutative Property of Addition The Associative Property of Addition The Commutative Property of Multiplication

Answer 1

Substituting 1 for \( x \) in the equation \( 5x + 3 = x \times 5 + 3 \) tests the **Commutative Property of Multiplication**. The equation shows that \( 5x \) is equal to \( x \times 5 \), which illustrates that the order of multiplication does not change the result.
