5 9 Simplify

A: He did not make any errors.

B: Step 1: He wrote −4.4 incorrectly as + 4.4.

C: Step 2: He identified changing the order of the numbers as the commutative property, which is incorrect.

D: Step 3: He identified changing the grouping of the numbers as the associative property, which is incorrect.
