A because y is larger than x by 2.

x + y = 44
y = x + 2

Substitute eqn 2 into eqn 1
x + x + 2 = 44
2x = 42
x = 21

Thus, the smaller number is 21.

(x +y) + Z commutative property of addition
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

commutative property of addition :  x + y = y + x

example : 2+3 =5 and 3+2 =5 then 2+3=3+2

associative property of addition

x + y + z = (x + y) + z = x + (y + z)

example: 2+3+4 = (2+3)+4 = 5 + 4 =9

               2+3+4 = 2+(3+4) = 2 + 7 = 9
