Answer 1

To apply the Commutative Property, we can rearrange the terms in the expression by moving the like terms together. Starting with the expression:

8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12

We can group the like terms together:

(8 - 2 - 4 + 12) + (9f + 6f - 8f)

Simplifying the constants within the first group:

14 + (9f + 6f - 8f)

Combining the like terms within the second group:

14 + (9f + 6f - 8f) = 14 + 7f

Therefore, an expression equivalent to 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12 using the Commutative Property is 14 + 7f.
