Apply the Commutative Property to generate an expression equivalent to 8+9f−2+6f−8f−4+12 .(1 point)
Responses
To apply the Commutative Property, we can rearrange the terms in the expression by moving the like terms together. Starting with the expression:
8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12
We can group the like terms together:
(8 - 2 - 4 + 12) + (9f + 6f - 8f)
Simplifying the constants within the first group:
14 + (9f + 6f - 8f)
Combining the like terms within the second group:
14 + (9f + 6f - 8f) = 14 + 7f
Therefore, an expression equivalent to 8 + 9f - 2 + 6f - 8f - 4 + 12 using the Commutative Property is 14 + 7f.
