9 + (a + b) = (9 + a) + b
Using the associative law
Using the commutative law
= b + (9 + a)
x(y5) = (xy)5
Using the associative law
Using the commutative law
= 5(xy)
( 2)m = (2 )m
Using the commutative law
Using the associative law
= 2( m)
s(t2) = (t2)s Using the commutative law
= (2t)s Using the commutative law
= 2(ts) Using the associative law
(y + z) + 7 = 7 + (y + z)
Using the commutative law
Using the commutative law
= 7 + (z + y)
= (7 + z) + y
Using the associative law
(9 + y) + 3 = (y + 9) + 3
Using the commutative law
Using the associative law
= y + (9 + 3)
= y + 12
Simplifying
(x + 8) + 6 = x + (8 + 6)
Using the associative law
Simplifying
= x + 14
= 14 + x
Using the commutative law
(8w)5 = 5(8w)
Using the commutative law
Using the associative law
= (5·8)w
= 40w
Simplifying
(z2)6 = z(2·6)
Using the associative law
Simplifying
= z(12)
= 12z
