What you have to do in the problem, is demonstrate your knowledge and understanding of the rules to show which operators take precedence.

The Commutative Property: the order of the numbers when you add or multiply does not matter. ex: 8+5=5+8

The Associative Property: where you place your parenthesis when you add or multiply does not matter. ex: 8+(7+6)=(8+7)+6

The Identity Property: when you multiply a number by one (for multiplication), for addition, you add zero

and this math problem……

24c-6(8-4c)+52

=24c-48+24c+52

=48c+4

=24c-48+24c+52

=48c+4

Addition

a + b = b + a

Multiplication

ab = ba

________

Associative Properties

Addition

(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

Multiplication

(ab)c = a(bc)

_________

Identity Properties

Addition

a + 0 = a

Multiplication

a x 1 = a

______

And for the problem you need to do your own homework, you will never learn. I’ll give you a tip: Combine like terms and use the distributive property.

Good Luck
