Problem

If A = -26 and B = 68, please provide the solution that demonstrates the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

Step

Given that

A = - 26
B = 68

Hint

Mathematically, this property can be expressed as

\$ a \times b = b \times a \$

Step

Calculate \$ A \times B \$

\$ A \times B = -26 \times 68 \$

Step

Perform the multiplication

\$ A \times B = -26 \times 68 \$ = - 1768

Step

Applying the commutative property of multiplication calculate \$ B \times A \$

\$ B \times A = 68 \times - 26 \$

Step

Perform the multiplication

\$ B \times A = 68 \times - 26 \$ = - 1768

Step

Both \$ A \times B \$ and \$ B \times A \$ yield the same result of - 1768.

Step

Therefore, we have successfully demonstrated the commutative property of multiplication for
A = - 26 and B = 68.

Choice.A

This statement is inaccurate. It doesn’t result from A multiplied by B or its negative equivalent

Choice.B

This statement isn’t accurate; it doesn’t align with the Commutative Property as it doesn’t represent the product of A and B

-42

Choice.C

Wrong. Although it’s a positive alternative, it doesn’t correspond to the product of A and B

1768

Choice.D

This answer is correct because by applying the commutative property of multiplication we got the result as -1768

-1768
