Which of the following is an example of the associative property? 2(5 - 3) = 10 - 6 -7 + (19 + 5) = (-7 + 19) + 5 11 + (6 + 8) = 11 + (28 + 6) 1/3 • 3 = 1

Hey there!

Let's look at this one answer at a time. 

2(5 - 3) = 10 - 6 would classify as the distributive property because 2 times 5 is 10 and 2 times negative 3 equals negative 6. 

-7 + (19 + 5) = (-7 + 19) + 5 would classify as an example of the associative property of equality because both sides of the equation simplify to equal the same number, 17.

11 + (6 + 8) = 11 + (28 + 6) is not a property of equality because it simplifies out to be 25 = 45 which is not true. 25 can never be equal to 45. It's no solution.

1/3 * 3 = 1 would be a great example of the inverse property of multiplication because one third is the reciprocal of three. In other words the equation could look like this:  1/3 * 3/1 = 3/3 = 1

Hope that helps! Thanks for using
