8 + 7 = 15
Choose the related addition sentence that shows the commutative property of addition.
A. 15 – 8 = 7
B. 14 + 1 = 15
C. 7 + 8 = 15
D. 15 = 8 + 7

Respuesta :

A is the correct anwser

For this case, we have the following generic expression:

[tex]a + b = c\\[/tex]

The commutative property of the addition states that the order of the addends does not alter the sum, therefore the previous expression above can be written as:

[tex]b + a = c\\[/tex]

Thus the expression[tex]8 + 7 = 15[/tex], applying the commutative property, can be written as:

[tex]7 + 8 = 15\\[/tex]

Answer:

Option c
