Answer 1

The given question is wrong.

Question:

Which expression is equivalent to the given expression using commutative property of addition? 2(x + b) + 3(xa).

Answer:

Option C:

3(xa) + 2(x + b)

Solution:

Given expression is 2(x + b) + 3(xa).

To find the equivalent expression using commutative property of addition.

Let us first define the commutative property of addition.

a + b = b + a

You can add in any order.

Now, write the given expression using commutative property.

2(x + b) + 3(xa) = 3(xa) + 2(x + b)

Option C is the correct answer.

Hence 3(xa) + 2(x + b) equivalent expression using commutative property of addition.
