Responses

(3⋅5)+2=(3+5)⋅2

left parenthesis 3 times 5 right parenthesis plus 2 equals left parenthesis 3 plus 5 right parenthesis times 2

(3+5)⋅2=3+(5⋅2)

left parenthesis 3 plus 5 right parenthesis times 2 equals 3 plus left parenthesis 5 times 2 right parenthesis

(3⋅5)⋅2=(3⋅5)⋅2

left parenthesis 3 times 5 right parenthesis times 2 equals left parenthesis 3 times 5 right parenthesis times 2

(3⋅5)⋅2=3⋅(5⋅2)

Answer 1

(3⋅5)⋅2 = 3⋅(5⋅2)

This shows the associative property of multiplication: changing the grouping of the factors doesn't change the product (both sides equal 30).
