The original expression is given by:

The correct way to rewrite the expression is given by:

For this, we use two properties:
Associative property:
The way of grouping the factors does not change the result of the multiplication:
Commutative property:
The order of the factors does not vary the product:
Option 1. 9.42×3 in² is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
As it has been given in the question that Kyra has arranged the circle sectors in the shape of a parallelogram.
Side of a parallelogram = 9.42 in. and height of this parallelogram is 3 in.
Now we know the formula of the area of a parallelogram = length × height
Area = 9.42 × 3 in².
So the area of this arrangement of the sectors = 9.42×3 in².
To find the answer to that, you have to see how many numbers are between 13 and 31. There are 18 numbers between 13 and 31. Divide 18 by 2 and you will get the number halfway. 9 is halfway between 13 and 31. So, add 9 to 13 and you get 22.
The answer is 22.

Ax + by = 8
Subtract ax from both sides.
by = 8 - ax
Divide both sides by y.
b = (8-ax)/y
