If you treat multiplication as repeated a<span>ddition, then y</span>es, Juan is correct. Only equal groups can be multiplied.

Answer:  The answer is yes.


Step-by-step explanation: According to Jaun, when we put together unequal groups, we can only add. We are to check whether he is correct or not.

Let us consider the addition of unequal groups and let the groups be linear polynomials (x-1), (x-2) and (x-3).

Then, adding these, we have

(x-1)+(x-3)+(x-4) = x-1+x-3+x-4 = 3x-8. Therefore, addition is the only thing that is possible here. We cannot multiply or use any other mathematical operation.

Again, let us consider the addition of equal groups (x-3), (x-3) and (x-3). Adding these, we have

(x-3)+(x-3)+(x-3) = 3x-9 = 3(x-3), i.e., addition can be written in multiplicative form too in case of equal groups.

Thus, when we put together unequal groups, addition is the only operation possible. Jaun is absolutely correct.

Where did we get one?
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The -1 came from factoring.

The equation is multiplied by 8 because 8 could be pulled from 16x-8.

16 can be divided by 8 2 times and 8 can only divided by 8 once.

so factoring it makes the equation 8(2x-1)
