Question

which property of multiplication is shown?
= 2 × 6
identity
commutative
distributive
associative
submit

Explanation:

The commutative property of multiplication states that \( a \times b = b \times a \). Here, if the left - hand side was something like \(6\times2\) and it is equal to \(2\times6\) (or vice - versa), this shows the commutative property. The identity property is about multiplying by 1 (\(a\times1 = a\)), the distributive property is about \(a\times(b + c)=a\times b+a\times c\), and the associative property is about \((a\times b)\times c=a\times(b\times c)\). So the property shown is commutative.

Answer:

commutative (assuming the full equation is of the form \(a\times b=b\times a\), for example if the left side was \(6\times2\) and right side is \(2\times6\))
