Let's solve each step-by-step and match with the correct property.
---
## 1. \( 7 \times 2 \times (4 \times 1) = 7 \times 2 \times 4 \times 1 \)
### Property: **Associative property of multiplication**
**Explanation:**
The associative property allows you to regroup numbers when multiplying without changing the result.
\[(a \times b) \times c = a \times (b \times c)\]
---
## 2. \( 9 \times (4 \times 12) = (9 \times 4) \times 12 \)
### Property: **Associative property of multiplication**
**Explanation:**
This is also the associative property of multiplication, as the grouping of the numbers changes, not their order.
---
## 3. \( \left(\frac{1}{2} + 2\right) = 5 + 4 + \)
### Property: **Additive inverse** (if you meant \(2 + (-2) = \)), otherwise this looks incorrect.
**Explanation:**
If the intention was to show that a number plus its additive inverse equals zero.
---
## 4. \( (4 + 19) + 7 = (19 + 4) + 7 \)
### Property: **Commutative property of addition**
**Explanation:**
Changing the order of addends does not change the sum.
\[(a + b) = (b + a)\]
---
## 5. \( (13 \times 41) \times 6 = (41 \times 13) \times 6 \)
### Property: **Commutative property of multiplication**
**Explanation:**
Changing the order of factors does not change the product.
\[(a \times b) = (b \times a)\]
---
## 6. \( 6 \times (x + 3) = 3 \times (10 + y) \)
### Property: **Not matching any standard property**
This equation doesn't fit a standard property as written. If intended as \(6 \times (x + 3) = 6x + 18\), that would be distributive property.
---
## 7. \( 6(x + 3) = 6x + 18 \)
### Property: **Distributive property of multiplication over addition**
**Explanation:**
Multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying each addend separately and adding the products.
\[a(b + c) = ab + ac\]
---
## 8. \( (5p - 2)6 = 30p - 12 \)
### Property: **Distributive property of multiplication over subtraction**
**Explanation:**
Multiplying a number by a difference is the same as multiplying each term and subtracting the products.
\[a(b - c) = ab - ac\]

| 3 | \( \left(\frac{1}{2} + 2\right) = 5 + 4 + \) | Additive inverse (if corrected) |
| 4 | \( (4 + 19) + 7 = (19 + 4) + 7 \) | Commutative property of addition |
| 5 | \( (13 \times 41) \times 6 = (41 \times 13) \times 6 \) | Commutative property of multiplication |
| 6 | \( 6 \times (x + 3) = 3 \times (10 + y) \) | Not a standard property as written |
