Which property is illustrated by the following statement?

2x(6) = (6)2x

Associative Property of Addition
Commutative Property of Multiplication*****
Inverse Property of Multiplication
Commutative Property of Addition

It is indeed the commutative property of multiplication.

The property illustrated by the statement 2x(6) = (6)2x is the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

To understand this property, let's break down the statement and explain how to arrive at the answer.

The Commutative Property of Multiplication states that the order of multiplication does not affect the result. In other words, when multiplying two numbers, you can change the order of the numbers being multiplied without changing the product.

In the given statement, we have 2x(6) on one side and (6)2x on the other side.

To solve this equation, we need to evaluate both sides.

In 2x(6), we multiply 2 and 6, resulting in 12x.

On the other side, we have (6)2x. Here, we multiply 6 and 2, resulting in 12, and then multiply it by x, resulting in 12x.

Both sides of the equation simplify to 12x, which means they are equal.

Therefore, the statement illustrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication because the order of the numbers being multiplied is changed without affecting the product.
