rewritten correctly using the commutative property and then simplified correctly?

1 answer

To rewrite the expression (26+92)+17 using the commutative property, we can rearrange the numbers in the addition. The commutative property states that the order in which two numbers are added does not change the sum.

First, we can rewrite (26+92)+17 as 17+26+92.

Now we can simplify this expression.

  1. First, add 17 and 26: 17+26=43

  2. Next, add 43 and 92: 43+92=135

Thus, the expression (26+92)+17, rewritten correctly using the commutative property and simplified correctly, is 135.
