Problem 16
Question
Use the commutative property of multiplication to write an equivalent algebraic expression. $$8 x$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The equivalent algebraic expression for \(8 x\) using the commutative property of multiplication is \(x \cdot 8\).
1Step 1: Understand the Commutative Property
The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. Formally, for any numbers a and b, it can be said that \(a \cdot b = b \cdot a\).
2Step 2: Apply the Commutative Property
According to the commutative property, the equivalent algebraic expression for \(8 x\) is \(x \cdot 8\).
