Part 1 of 2 HW Score: \( 9.82 \%, 3.6 \) Points: 0 of 1 Use the commutative or the associative property to complete the statement. State which property is used. \[ -11+8=8+\square \] \[ -11+8=8+ \]

To fill in the blank, we can use the commutative property of addition, which states that the order of adding numbers doesn’t change the sum. So, we can switch the order of -11 and 8 in the equation: \[ -11 + 8 = 8 + (-11) \] Therefore, the statement is: \[ -11 + 8 = 8 + (-11) \] This uses the **commutative property** of addition. Now, let’s complete the second blank similarly: \[ -11 + 8 = 8 + (-11) \] We can also see that the left side remains equal by following the property used earlier.
