You can use the commutative property to reorder the terms of an expression. James says that you can use the commutative property to rewrite 5m+10 as 10m+5. Is James correct? Explain.

Respuesta :

By the commutative property of addition, Jame's claim is incorrect

What is the commutative property?

The commutative property of addition states that:

a + b = b + a

The expression is given as:

5m + 10

The equivalent expression is:

10 + 5m

This is properly represented as:

[tex]5m + 10 = 10 + 5m[/tex]

Jame's claim can be represented as:

[tex]5m + 10 = 10m + 5[/tex]

The above equation is not correct, for the commutative property of addition.

Hence, Jame's claim is incorrect
