What is the distributive property? - Answer- A property that states a(b + c) = ab + ac,
allowing for the multiplication of a single term by a sum.
What is the commutative property? - Answer- A property that states the order of addition
or multiplication does not change the result, e.g., a + b = b + a.
What is the associative property? - Answer- A property that states the way in which
numbers are grouped in addition or multiplication does not change the result, e.g., (a +
b) + c = a + (b + c).

mathematical expressions or equations.
