The correct option is (d)

He wrote commutative instead of associative in step 2.

<h3>What is the commutative property?</h3>

According to the commutative property, a mathematical principle, the product of a multiplication does not depend on the order in which the numbers are multiplied.

Commutative property:  a+b = b+a

Associative property: (a+b) + = a+(b+c)

Now consider the provided expression.

(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8

Step 1:

(6.2 − 1.6) − 4.4 + 7.8

Step 2 Use Associative property

6.2 + (−1.6 − 4.4) + 7.8

Step 3: Simplify

6.2 − 6 + 7.8

Step 4: Use commutative property

14 − 6

Step 5: Simplify

14 − 6 = 8

Hence, the wrong step is step 2.

He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

(a)-He wrote commutative instead of distributive in Step 4.

(b)-He wrote commutative instead of distributive in Step 2.

(c)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 4.

(d)-He wrote commutative instead of associative in Step 2.

A pyramid shaped building is 311 feet tall and has a square base with sides of 619 ft. The sides of the building are made from r
zmey [24]

Answer:

Surface area of the reflective glass is 543234.4 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: height = 311 feet, sides of square base = 619 feet.

To determine the slant height, we have;

l^{2} = 311^{2} + 309.5^{2}

   = 96721 + 95790.25

   = 192511.25

⇒ l = \sqrt{192511.25}

      = 438.761

The slant height, l is 438.8 feet.

Considering one reflecting surface of the pyramid, its area = \frac{1}{2} × base × height

  area =  \frac{1}{2} × 619 × 438.8

          = 135808.6

          = 135808.6 square feet

Since the pyramid has four reflective surfaces,

surface area of the reflective glass = 4 × 135808.6

                                                          = 543234.4 square feet

a store had a sale to celebrate veterans day. Every item in the store is advertised as 1/5 off the original price. If an item is
makkiz [27]

Answer:

$175

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original price be x

if 1/5 is off the price then the sells is at 4/5

4/5 of x = 140

thus,

4/5* x=140

4x = 140*5

x=700/4

x=$175

Which equation represents this situation?
Tatiana [17]
The answer would be h+(h+2.5)=22
The h represents Williams hours and the h+22 represents jose's hours. Together, they add to 22 hours :)
Hope this helps!
