Use the Associative, Commutative, and Distributive properties to write an
equivalent expression in simplest form of the expression 2x + 8 + 3x - 3

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{5(x+1)}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Associative Property

[tex]\boxed{a+(b+c)= (a+b)+c}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{a \cdot (b\cdot c)= (a \cdot b) \cdot c}[/tex]

Commutative Property

[tex]\boxed{ b \cdot a = a \cdot b}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{a+b= b+c}[/tex]

Distributive Property

[tex]\boxed{ a(b+c)= ab+ac }[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{ a(b-c)= ab+ac }[/tex]

[tex]2x + 8 + 3x - 3 =5x+5 = \boxed{5(x+1)}[/tex]
