Question

Which of these shows 9 + 4p rewritten using the commutative property of addition?

Answer 1

9 + 4p

rewritten using the commutative property of addition = 4p + 9

answer 4p + 9 (first choice)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (1) $4p+9$

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative property of addition states that while adding two real  numbers m and n, the order of adding doesn't matter, i.e. we can add, m and n as $m+n$ as well as $n+m$.

So, we can conclude that the commutative property of addition states that there will be no impact of ordering the terms.

Now, we have $9+4p$

So, by the commutative property of addition we can say that $4p+9$ is same as $9+4p$.

Hence, the expression shown in option (1) is correct.
