1. 3(5 + 1)

2. (2 + 7)5

3. (10 + 2)7

4. 2(9 - 8Y

5. 4(10 - 2)

6. 6(13 + 4)

Name the property shown by each statement.
7. 2 X (3 X 7) = (2 X 3)

9. 3(9 - 7) = 3(9) - 3(7)

8.6+

3=3+ 6

10. 18 x i = 18

11. 7 X 2 = 2 X 7

12. 6 + (1 + 4) = (6 + 1) + 4

13. 7 + 0 = 7

14. 0 + 12 = 12

15. 625 + 281 = 281 + 625

16. (12 X 18) X 5 = 12 X (18 X 5)

17. 2(8 + 2) = 2(8) + 2(2)

18. (15 + 11) + 9 = 15 + (11 + 9)

19. (6 + r) + s

21. p

= 6 + (r

+ s)

1= p

20. (4 X 8) X a = 4 X (8 X a)

22. a + 5 = 5 + a

23. y X 3 = 3 X Y

24. b + 0 = b

25. (x + y) + z = x + (y + z)

26. 6(200 + 50) = 6(200) + 6(50)
