Question

distributive law and associative law are same or not .if yes then why

Answer 1

associative law is says that it doesn't matter how we group the numbers when we add or multiply
distributing law is related to the operations of multiplications and additional

Answer 2

if a,b and c are three rational numbers
1)a(b+c)= a*b+a*c distributive property

2(5+7)=2*5+2*7
2)
a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c associative under addition
3+(7+9)=(3+7)+9
a*(b*c)=(a*b)*c associative under multiplication

4*(6*9)=(4*6)*9
