Determine which equation shows associative property.

• (a + b) + c = a + (b+ c)

• abc = cab

• a(b+c) = ab + ac

• (a+b) + c = (b+a) + c

Each equation demonstrates a property of operations. Drag the tiles to the problem that demonstrates the property.

• Associative Property

• 2(3x - 9)  = 6x - 18

• Distributive Property

• (3x + 9) + 3 = 3x + (9 + 3)

• Commutative Property

• 4x + (x + 7x) = (4x + x) + 7x

• Associative Property

• 3(x + 1) = 3x + 3

• Distributive Property

• 5x + 2 + x = 5x + x + 2
