was not necessary to evaluate the expressions to det properties of operations could be used to justify their equiva expressions were the same except for the order of the values in parentheses. 2. complete the statements. the property of addition states that the order in which numbers are added does not matter. this property can be used to justify that ○ associative ○ distributive ○ commutative + 7) is equivalent to $18 + 12(7 + 30)$. unit 7 - lesson 1 | 5

Explanation:

The commutative property of addition states that the order of adding numbers does not affect the sum, which matches the description in the statement. The associative property relates to grouping of addends, and the distributive property involves multiplication over addition/subtraction, so they do not fit this description.
