The associative property of multiplication deals with moving the parentheses around different terms. The numbers remain in the same order. If you move the numbers’ order around, you’re using the commutative property. (They “commute” to a different place in the expression).

So 2(8 * 5) is regrouped and simplified
2(8 * 5) = 2(40) = 80

(5*8)*2
(2*5)*8

They all equal 80.

Just switch the numbers in the numerical expression.
