The parentheses can be used to change the order of terms in an expression. This is because the properties inside the parentheses are done before those outside of them.

What is the commuative property of 16x y?

The commutative property states that the order of multiplication does not change the result. Therefore, in the expression 16xy, the commutative property allows us to rearrange the terms as xy16 without changing the product. This property holds true for any numbers or variables being multiplied together, as long as the order is switched consistently.


y-3x plus 2?

It is an expression in two variables, x and Y. Since it is an expression, it is not possible to do anything with it - other than change the order of the terms.


What is changing the order of two or more terms in addition multiplication does not change the sumproduct?

The property that states changing the order of two or more terms in addition or multiplication does not change the sum or product is known as the commutative property. For addition, this means (a + b = b + a), and for multiplication, it means (a \times b = b \times a). This property allows for flexibility in rearranging terms without affecting the final result, making calculations easier.


Which expression shows the results of applying the Comunitive Property of addition to the expression 6 1 9 7 2?

This question cannot be answered. There is no such word as "Comunitive" and so "the Comunitive Property of addition" does not exist. One possible alternative is the "commutative" property, but that is only of marginal relevance in terms of the given expression. Thus, it is not at all clear what property the question is about and why any such property should be invoked.


What property is ( 3x - 2x) plus 2y plus 2?

It is an expression of terms that can be simplified to: x+2y+2


What property is it called if you add parentheses?

Adding parentheses in an equation can change the order of operations and is known as the distributive property. This property allows you to group terms together for simplifying expressions or equations.


What property allows you to change the order of the terms when adding OR multiplying without changing the outcome?

The property you're looking for is called the Commutative property. This means you can commute, or move the terms around (when being added, or multiplied) and it won't change the answer. ex: 3 * 5 = 5 * 3 x * y = y * x 1 + 10 = 10 + 1 x + y = y + x


Does this problem correctly demonstrate the commutative property (4 plus 3) plus 2 2 plus (4 plus 3)?

No, the expression does not correctly demonstrate the commutative property. The commutative property states that the order of addition does not affect the sum, meaning (a + b = b + a). In the given expression, the placement of parentheses affects the order of operations, so it is not solely illustrating the commutative property. A correct demonstration would involve rearranging the terms without changing their grouping, such as (4 + 3 + 2) versus (2 + 4 + 3).


What property is 3x plus 12 plus x?

They are terms of an expression which can be simplified to 4x+12 or factored to 4*(x+3)


What does a commutative property have to do with combining like terms?

When you have an expression consisting of several terms added together, and they are not all like terms, and there are like terms separated by unlike terms, you use the commutative law of addition to rearrange the terms so that the like terms are next to each other.


Is x7 the same as 7x?

In mathematics, the expression x7 typically represents the product of x and 7, while 7x represents the product of 7 and x. In general, the order of terms in a multiplication expression does not change the result. However, in algebra, the order of terms can be important when simplifying or solving equations.


What is 7x 7y as the distributive property?

To expand the expression 7x(7y) using the distributive property, you distribute the 7x to both terms inside the parentheses. This results in 7x * 7y = 49xy. The distributive property allows you to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses, simplifying the expression.
