Problem 26
Question
Use an associative property to rewrite each algebraic expression. Once the grouping has been changed, simplify the resulting algebraic expression. $$8(5 x)$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The simplified expression using the Associative Property is \(40x\).
1Step 1: Applying Associative Property
The given expression is \( 8(5x) \). Applying the associative property, we rewrite the expression as \((8 * 5) * x \).
2Step 2: Simplifying the Expression
Multiply 8 and 5 to get 40, the expression now is \(40x\).
