So in step $$\large A$$ the 4 was distributed to each term inside the brackets. Can you think of what property that might be? :) Distributing hmmmmmmm

4. JennWoww Group Title

im not sure ? :/

5. zepdrix Group Title

6. JennWoww Group Title

Step B is a little trickier. They rearranged the order of the addition. You can do this based on the fact that addition can happen in any order you want. $$\large 2+3+5 \qquad = \qquad 5+2+3$$ The numbers can commute ... Blah I can't think of a better way to say that lol It's the Commutative Property

Step $$\large C$$, the 4 is now associating with the 3 instead of the 4x. Can you think of what property this might be? c;

9. JennWoww Group Title

associative property ?

10. zepdrix Group Title

yayyyy

11. zepdrix Group Title

I'm not sure what property that is in part $$\large D$$. It's just addition being performed. I think it's called the Additive Identity Property. I better look that up to be sure though..

12. zepdrix Group Title

No that's not right, that property involves adding 0 to something.

13. zepdrix Group Title

Yah I dunno, maybe it's just the Addition property or something :\
