Which property is demonstrated? 3[5(4)] + 3 = [3(5)]4 + 3 associative property of addition associative property of multiplication commutative property of addition commutative property of multiplication
The associative property of multiplication tell us that the result of a multiplication is the same regardless of how we group the multiplicands. In other words we can multiply a[b(c)] or [a(b)]c or b[a(c)]... The way we group the multiplicands doesn't alter the result of the multiplication. In our example 3[5(4)] + 3 = [3(5)]4 + 3 we are just changing the way we group the multiplicands; in other words, we are using the is associative property of multiplication.
