5x5=25 so 25 different ways
Answer:
commutative property of multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
This is something you have to be very careful of. This would not be considered associative because there are NO GROUPING SYMBOLS. This property ONLY applies to grouping symbols.

To prove that the answer is line 2, you would need to disprove that the answer is line 1.
To disprove line 1, we can expand both expressions in the brackets and see if they are equivalent to x² - x - 6
(x + 2)(x - 3) = x² + 2x - 3x - 6 = x² - x - 6
So those brackets are equivalent
(x + 0.5)²
= (x + 0.5)(x + 0.5) = x² + 0.5x + 0.5x + 0.25 = x² + x + 0.25
x² + x + 0.25 - 6.25 = x² + x - 6
So line 1 is incorrect because (x + 0.5)² - 6.25 is not equivalent to x² - x - 6.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you would like me to show you how to prove that line 2 is correct :)
