Answer 2

SOLUTION

CORRECT QUESTION

Which statement is true about the expression 12 - 7 + 3

• The expression is equivalent to 12 - (7 + 3) because of the associative property.

• The expression is equivalent to 12 + 3 + ( - 7) because of the associative property.

• The expression is equivalent to 12 - 3 + 7 because of the commutative property.

• The expression is equivalent to 12 + 3 + ( - 7) because of the commutative property.

EVALUATION

We know that for three Real Numbers a , b , c

Associative property states that

a + ( b + c ) = ( a + b ) + c

Commutative property states that

a + b = b + a

Here three given numbers are 12 , - 7 , 3

Applying Commutative property we get

12 - 7 + 3 = 12 + 3 + ( - 7)

Thus applying Commutative property the given expression 12 - 7 + 3 is equivalent to 12 + 3 + ( - 7)

FINAL ANSWER

Hence the correct option is

The expression is equivalent to 12 + 3 + ( - 7) because of the commutative property.
