Identify the property that justifies each step asked about in the answer area below. Line 1: 10(3+2x) line 2: 10(2x+3) line 3: 20x+30. line one to line is: associative property of addition associative property of multiplication commutative property of addition. Commutative property of multiplication or disruptive property. Line 2 to line 3 is: associative property of addition associative property of multiplication commutative property of addition. Commutative property of multiplication or disruptive property

1 answer

To identify the properties that justify the steps between the lines, let's analyze each line:

Line 1 to Line 2:

  • Line 1: \(10(3 + 2x)\)
  • Line 2: \(10(2x + 3)\)

The transition from Line 1 to Line 2 involves rearranging the terms inside the parentheses. This is justified by the Commutative Property of Addition, which states that \(a + b = b + a\).

Line 2 to Line 3:

  • Line 2: \(10(2x + 3)\)
  • Line 3: \(20x + 30\)

The transition from Line 2 to Line 3 involves distributing \(10\) across the terms inside the parentheses. This is justified by the Distributive Property, which states that \(a(b + c) = ab + ac\).

In summary:

  • Line 1 to Line 2: Commutative Property of Addition
  • Line 2 to Line 3: Distributive Property
