To fill in the blanks using the Commutative Property, we can rearrange the factors in each expression while maintaining equality.
Let's start with the left side:
\[
(14)(_)(2)
\]
We need to find a term to put in the first blank on the left side such that it can be rearranged to match the right-hand side \((7)(_)(14)\).
Notice that \(14\) can be factored as \(7 \cdot 2\). Therefore, we can fill in the blanks with \(2\) and \(7\):
The left side becomes:
\[
(14)(7)(2) = (7)(2)(14)
\]
So we have:
\[
(14)(7)(2) = (7)(2)(14)
\]
However, the first blank on the left side can remain empty, as \( (7) \) can be rearranged in both expressions. Thus, we can fill in the blanks as follows:
The completed expression is:
\[
(14)(7)(2) = (7)(2)(14)
\]
Alternatively, one could structure it as:
\[
(14)(1)(2) = (7)(4)(14)
\]
where \( 1 \) is implied, making the left side equal to \( 14 \), leading to truth. This work assures you can fill in various suitable combinations based on spacing conventions as well.
The eventual final fill-in would be options:
\[
(14)(7)(2) = (7)(2)(14)
\]
- Fill in \( 7 \) in the blank of the first expression and \( 2 \) in the second blank.
You can also conclude with existing variables persisting according to direct multiplication.
