I might want to use the commutative property to change the order of the integers in the following sum before adding the given expression
"-80 + (-173)+(-20)"
As commutative property states that " Changing the order of addends does not change the sum" which means if we add 'a' to 'b' or 'b' to 'a', we will get the same answer.
Therefore, here if we add '-80' to '-173' or '-173' to '-80' , or if we add '-173' to '-20' or '-20' to '-173' , we will get the same answer.
Therefore, we might use commutative property to change the order the of integers in the following sum.
Step-by-step explanation:
first fish tank: 95-4x
second fish tank: 40+5x
1. Define variable
The variable x represents the number of days.
2. Write the inequality
<em>95-4x=40+5x</em>
<em />
3. You probably don't need the answer but I am just going to solve.
The first fish tank will have less water than the second fish tank after 7 days.
<em>95-4x=40+5x </em>
<em>95-4(7)=40+5(7)</em>
<em>95-28=40+35</em>
<em>67=75</em>
<em>Since the first equation (95-4x) represents the first fish tank, and the second equation (40+5x) represents the second fish tank, the solution shows how the amount of water in the first fish tank is less than the amount of water un the second fish tank after 7 days.</em>
#b. The equation y = 50x + 200 represents the total cost that the contractor will charge for x hours of work.
#c. (1, 250); (2, 300); (3, 350)
