Sure, let's rewrite the expression \( 17 \cdot 6 \) using the commutative property of multiplication.
The commutative property of multiplication states that the order in which two numbers are multiplied does not change the product. In other words, if you have two numbers \( a \) and \( b \), then \( a \cdot b = b \cdot a \).
Given the expression \( 17 \cdot 6 \), we can apply the commutative property to rewrite it as \( 6 \cdot 17 \).
Now, to confirm that both expressions yield the same result, let's verify the products.
\( 17 \cdot 6 = 102 \)
Similarly, \( 6 \cdot 17 = 102 \)
So, the rewritten expression using the commutative property of multiplication is:
[tex]\[ 17 \cdot 6 = 6 \cdot 17 \][/tex]
Both expressions have the same product, which is [tex]\( 102 \)[/tex].
