2 would most like be doubled and be 4 I think...
<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.
A histogram would best represent the data.
Dot plot is a good way to show a certain trend. However, when it comes to the number of a item, in this case the number of students in a certain score range, a histogram will be the most intuitive and concise. Thus, a histogram best represent the data presented here.
-3 2/5 - 5/6 = -127/30
-2/3 + 6 1/8 = 107/24
