Question

Verify (a) Associative property and (b) Distributive property of
multiplication of Integers for three Integers a=-2, b=-17, c=11

​

Answer 1

Answer:

associativity = -2+(-17)= -2-17=-19

-17+(-2)=-17-2=-19

-19=-19

distributivity =-2(-17+11)={-2x(-17) }+ (-2x11)

-2(-6)=34+(-22)

12=34-12

12=22
