Question

In order, list each property used to find the equivalent expression for 8 + 4(2x - 6). Step 1: 8 + 8x - 24 Step 2: 8 - 24 + 8x Step 3: -16 + 8x Step4: 8x - 16 Step 5: 8(x - 2)
a.distributive property; commutative property; associative property; commutative property; distributive property
b.associative property; commutative property; associative property; commutative property; distributive property Eliminate
c.distributive property; commutative property; associative property; reflexive property; distributive property
d.distributive property; commutative property; associative property; commutative property; factoring property

Answer 1

1. distributive property
2. commutative property (the order of 8x and -24 is swapped)
3. reflexive property ((8-24) = -16; -16 is substituted for 8-24. I prefer "substitution property".)
4. commutative property (the order of 8x and -16 is swapped)
5. distributive property
