Step-by-step explanation:

Data

                   (3 + 7)(-2)

There are two Commutative properties, one for addition and one for multiplication. In this problem, we need to work with the Commutative property of multiplication.

This property tells us that is does not matter the order in which we multiply the numbers the result will be the same.

Then,

             (3 + 7)(-2) = (-2)(3 + 7)
