IXL | Identify properties of addition and multiplication II

Which equation shows the commutative property of multiplication?

30 + 7 = 5 × 6 + 7

4 × 3 − 1 × 3 = (4 − 1) × 3

8 × 3 = 3 × 8

Which equation shows the associative property of multiplication?

1 × 8 − 1 × 5 = 1 × (8 − 5)

7 × 5 = 5 × 7

7 × (5 × 2) = (7 × 5) × 2

8 × (2 + 1) = 8 × 2 + 8 × 1

Associative property:
You can group the factors in any way without changing the result.

7 × (5 × 2) = (7 × 5) × 2

This equation shows the associative property. The grouping of the factors is changed.
