<h3>Answer: Commutative Property (choice C)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Here are all of the justifications for each step
- Step 1. None needed. This is the original expression
- Step 2. Distributive property
- Step 3. Multiply (the 3 and 5 multiply to 15)
- Step 4. Commutative property. Specifically, this is the commutative property of addition which allows us to add any two numbers in any order we want. In this case, the -15 and 4x terms swap places.
- Step 5. Associative property. The parenthesis group the first two terms away from the third term.
- Step 6. Combine like terms. Both 3x and 4x have an x only so they are like terms that combine to 7x. You can think of it as 3+4 = 7, then you just tack an x onto everything to get 3x+4x = 7x.
Answer:
k < -5
Step-by-step explanation:
5(k+4)<–5
Divide each side by 5
5/5(k+4)<–5/5
k+4 < -1
Subtract 4 from each side
k+4-4 < -1-4
k < -5
Answer:
m=9
Step-by-step explanation:
11-9m=-70
-11 -11
-9m = -81
divide both sides by -9 and you get m=9
