Question

Rewrite the following expressions using the Commutative Property of Multiplication. Make sure that you insert parenthesis correctly! (1 point)(5⋅2x)+4=(5⋅2𝑥)+4=

Answer 1

Using the Commutative Property of Multiplication, we can rearrange the terms in the expression. The original expression is:

\[
(1 \cdot (5 \cdot 2x)) + 4
\]

Using the Commutative Property, we can rearrange the multiplication:

\[
(5 \cdot (2x \cdot 1)) + 4
\]

This can further simplify, but if we just want to apply the Commutative Property and not change the actual multiplication, the final expression becomes:

\[
(5 \cdot (2x)) + 4
\]

Thus, an acceptable rewritten expression using the Commutative Property is:

\[
(5 \cdot (2x)) + 4
\]

This maintains the order of operations correctly with parentheses around the multiplication.
