SOOOOO confused....... AXIOMS

[thetomps]

(p + q)(r + s) = (p + q)r + (p + q)s illustrates which of the following axioms? Your previous authors may have called them "rules", "laws", or "postulates" as well as or instead of "axioms".

1. Commutative axiom of addition
2. Associative axiom of addition
3. Commutative axiom of multiplication.
4. Distributive axiom of multiplication with respect to addition
5. Distributive axiom of addition with respect to multiplication
6. none of these

I have no clue which number it would be

I tlooks like 4 to me. I thought they were "Properties".

Do you know what the others are? You need to get a clue.

If you really "have no clue", then us giving you an answer will not be helpful, since you wouldn't understand it. Instead, you need to study the properties of numbers, to learn what the "commutative", "associative", and "distributive" properties are.
