Apply the Commutative Property to generate an expression equivalent to 8+9f−2+6f−8f−4+12. Responses 14+7f 14 plus 7 f - no response given 18+5f 18 plus 5 f - no response given 21f 21 f - no response given 14+22f
The Commutative Property states that the order of addition does not affect the result.
Using the Commutative Property, we can rearrange the terms of the given expression:
8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12
Rearranging the terms:
8 - 2 - 4 + 12 + 9f + 6f - 8f
Combining like terms:
14 + 7f
Therefore, the expression equivalent to 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12 using the Commutative Property is 14 + 7f.
