Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using the associative property of multiplication, we can rearrange the factors to get (7c)·x. The associative property of multiplication states that when three or more numbers are multiplied, the grouping of the factors does not change the product. In this case, we can group (7c) together and keep x separate, giving us (7c)·x. Therefore, the answer is D.
