Answers
*Number your paper from 1-8. Write assoc., comm., or dist., to correctly label the property of each.
14 (2 – 6) = (14 x 2) – (14 x 6)
3x + 17 = x
12(4 + 8) = (12 x 4) + (12 x 8)
(6 x 5) x 9 = 6 x (5 x 9)
3 + (20 + 4) = (3 + 20) + 4
(11 – 4) + 12 = 12 + (11 – 4)
10( ) = (10 x 22) + (10 x 12)
2x + (3x + 3x) = (2x + 3x) + 3x

26. The Answers dist. (Distributive Property) comm. (Commutative Property)
assoc. (Associative Property)
