• identity property of addition

• identity property of multiplication

• inverse property of addition

• multiplication property of zero

Identify the property

(a ⋅ b) ⋅ c = (c ⋅ b) ⋅ a

• commutative property of multiplication

• identity property of multiplication

• inverse property of multiplication

• associative property of multiplication

Pick the answer that is an example of the commutative property of multiplication

• b + c + a = a + b + c
• a(b + c) = ab + ac
• a ⋅ b = b⋅ a
• a ⋅ 1 = a

Pick the answer that is an example of the identity property of addtion

• a + (-a) = 0
• 1 + 1 = 2
• a + 0 = a
• a + b = b + a

Identify the property

a(b + c) = ab + ac

• Associative property of addition

• Distributive property

• Commutative property of addition
