Use the commutative and/or associative laws to rewrite the given expression. Label each step with a reason.(y + z) + 4 as (4 + z) + y

What will be an ideal response?


(y + z) + 4 = 4 + (y + z) Using the commutative law
  = 4 + (z + y)  Using the commutative law
  = (4 + z) + y  Using the associative law
