Apply the Commutative Property to generate an expression equivalent to 8+9f−2+6f−8f−4+12

Question

14+22f 14 plus 22 f 14+7f 14 plus 7 f 21f 21 f 18+5f

Answer 1

The expression equivalent to 8+9f−2+6f−8f−4+12 using the Commutative Property is:

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

Now, we can group like terms:

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

Simplifying further:

= 2 + 7f + 12

= 14 + 7f
