Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] (4 + 5) + 2 = 4 + (5 + 2) [/tex] => any combination of numbers were formed or grouped when adding. The associative property of addition was applied.
[tex] 2(2x + 4) = 4x + 8 [/tex] => the sum of two terms (addend) are multiplied by by a number separately (I.e., a(b + c) = a(b) + a(c) = ab + ac). The property applied is distributive property.
[tex] (7x * x) * 3 = 7 * (x * 3) [/tex] => the numbers were grouped in any combination to arrive at same result when multiplying. Associative property of multiplication was applied.
[tex] (8 * x * 2) = (x * 8 * 2) [/tex] => the numbers where ordered in any manner to arrive at same result when multiplying. Cummutative property of multiplication was applied.
[tex] (7 + 3) + 1 = (1 + (7 + 3) [/tex] => the order in which the nnumbers in the were arranged doesn't matter, as same result is arrive at. This is Cummutative property of addition.
