Use the community property of addition to rewrite the algebraic expression 4x + ^

Question

2 + 8x

Answer 1

The commutative property of addition states that the order in which we add numbers does not affect the sum. This allows us to rearrange the terms in the expression.

For the expression \(4x + 2 + 8x\), we can reorganize the terms as follows:

\[ 4x + 8x + 2 \]

Now, the expression is rewritten as \(4x + 8x + 2\) using the commutative property of addition. You can further simplify the expression by combining the \(x\) terms:

\[ (4x + 8x) + 2 = 12x + 2 \]

So, the final rewritten expression is \(12x + 2\).
