Use the commutative property of multiplication to rewrite the algebraic expression a^20•x^3.

1 answer

The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which you multiply numbers does not affect the product. In algebraic terms, this means that \(a \cdot b = b \cdot a\).

Using this property, we can rewrite the expression \(a^{20} \cdot x^3\) in a different order. For example, you can rewrite it as:

\[ x^3 \cdot a^{20} \]

So, \(a^{20} \cdot x^3\) can be rewritten as \(x^3 \cdot a^{20}\).
