Solving Multi-Step Equations in One Variable
Rule
Associative Property of Multiplication
The way three or more
factors
are grouped when
multiplied
does not affect the value of the product.
(
a
⋅
b
)
⋅
c
=
a
⋅
(
b
⋅
c
)
For example, consider the product
2
⋅
4
⋅
6
.
Grouping
2
⋅
4
and multiplying it by
6
produces the same result as grouping
4
⋅
6
and multiplying it by
2
.

Since the Associative Property of Multiplication is an
axiom
, it does not need a
proof
