Answer: A, B, and C are three integers. 

  • Commutative property

According to the commutative property, the integers we apply to the operation can be swapped or changed without changing the outcome.

A+B = B+A

A.B = B.A

  • Identity property

According to the 1’s identity property, any integer multiplied by 1 retains its identity. In other words, multiplying a number by one is constant. Since we only make one copy of the integer when we multiply by 1, the number remains constant.

A+0 = A

  1. 1 = A
  • Distributive property

The distributive property makes multiplying a number by a sum or difference easier.

A.(B+C) = A.B + A.C

  • Associative property

The grouping of numbers is referred to by the associative property, which takes its name from the word “associate”.

A+(B+C) = (A+B) +C

A (B.C) = (A.B) . C
