Question

Indicate which property is illustrated in Step 5.Step 18 + 11x - 8 - 5x + 3=8 + (11x - 8) - 5x + 3Step 2=8 + (-8 + 11x) - 5x + 3Step 3=[8 + (-8)] + (11x - 5x) + 3Step 4=0 + (11x - 5x) + 3Step 5=(11x - 5x) + 3Step 6=(11 - 5)x + 3Step 7=6x + 3 A. additive identity B. commutative C. distributive D. additive inverse

Answer 1

for the given question, we will find the property is illustrated in Step 5.

Step 5: (11x - 5x) + 3

We can take x as a common which represents the distributive property

so, the answer will be option C. distributive
