<h3>Answer:</h3>

5+(7+x)

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

Finding an Equivalent Expression

The associative property of addition states that you can move the terms that are inside the parentheses and still have the expression remain true. So, in the answer above, I moved 5 out of the parentheses and x into the parentheses. No matter the value of x the value of the expression will remain the same

Examples and Proof

Another example of the associative property could be (1+6)+3 = 1+(6+3). To prove this statement we can evaluate each side of the expression.

First, let's do (1+6)+3

  • (1+6)+3
  • (7)+3
  • 10

Next, let's do 1+(6+3)

  • 1+(6+3)
  • 1+(9)
  • 10

As you can see both of these expressions are the same, thus proving that the associative property works in this situation.

2 parts compost, 6 parts potting soil for 10 kg of mix. How many kg of compost
likoan [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion could be used.

With 2 parts of compost and 6 parts potting soil, you would end up with 8 total parts.

So it can be written as a ratio of compost to total mix, or \frac{2}{8}

The problem states 10 kg are needed in total, and the variable would be the amount of compost

As a ratio it would be \frac{x}{10}.

Use the ratios to write a proportion.

\frac{2}{8} = \frac{x}{10}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10

\frac{20}{8} = x

Convert to a decimal if desired.

x=2.5
