Capitolo 1, Problema 18
State the name of the property illustrated: (3 • 7) + (4 • 7) = (4 • 7) + (3 •7)
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Observe the given expression: \( (3 \cdot 7) + (4 \cdot 7) = (4 \cdot 7) + (3 \cdot 7) \). Notice that the two products are being added together on both sides.
Identify that the terms on the left side are \(3 \cdot 7\) and \(4 \cdot 7\), and on the right side, the same terms appear but in reversed order: \(4 \cdot 7\) and \(3 \cdot 7\).
Recall the Commutative Property of Addition, which states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum. In symbolic form, this is \(a + b = b + a\).
Since the expression shows the sum of two products with their order switched but the sum remains the same, this illustrates the Commutative Property of Addition.
Therefore, the property illustrated by the equation is the Commutative Property of Addition.

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.
Commutative Property of Addition
The commutative property of addition states that changing the order of addends does not change the sum. For example, a + b = b + a. In the given expression, the sums on both sides have the same terms added in different orders, illustrating this property.

Distributive Property
The distributive property connects multiplication and addition, stating that a(b + c) = ab + ac. Although the given expression resembles terms from distribution, it primarily shows rearrangement of terms rather than distribution itself.

Multiply Polynomials Using the Distributive Property
Multiplication of Real Numbers
Multiplication of real numbers is commutative, meaning a × b = b × a. This allows factors to be reordered without changing the product, which is essential in understanding why (3 • 7) and (7 • 3) are equivalent in the expression.
