Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression: [tex]7(xy)[/tex]
i.e. a product of 7 and xy.
The operation used here: Multiplication.
Commutative property of multiplication :-
[tex]a\times b=b\times a[/tex] for any numbers a and b.
Associative property of multiplication :-
[tex]a\times(b\times c)=(a\times b\times c)[/tex] for any numbers a , band c.
Now, [tex]7(xy)=(7x)y[/tex] [Associative property of multiplication]
[tex]=(x7)y[/tex] [Commutative property of multiplication]
[tex]=x(7y)[/tex] [Associative property of multiplication]
