Decide whether each statement is an example of a commutative, associative, identity, or inverse property, or of the distributive property. See Examples 1–7.
5 (2x) + 5 (3y) = 5 (2x + 3y)
EXAMPLE 1 Using the Commutative Properties

EXAMPLE 2 Using the Associative Properties

EXAMPLE 3 Distinguishing between Properties

EXAMPLE 4Using the Identity Properties

EXAMPLE 5 Using the Identity Property for Multiplication

EXAMPLE 6 Using the Inverse Properties

EXAMPLE 7 Using the Distributive Property
