What property is 2 * (3*4) = (2*3) * 4

A) inverse property

B) distributive property

C) Communitive property

D) associative property

E) Identity property

D) associative property

Step-by-step explanation:

The Associative Property:

of multiplication: (a · b) · c = a · (b · c)

of addition: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c)

2 · (3 · 4) = (2 · 3) · 4

left side:

L = 2 · 12 = 24

right side

R = 6 · 4 = 24

L = R

A) inverse property: a + (-a) = (-a) + a = 0, a · 1/a = 1/a · a = 1

B) distributive property: a (b + c) = ab + ac

C) commutative property: a + b = b + a, a · b = b · a

E) identity property: a + 0 = 0 + a = a, a · 1 = 1 · a = a
