The Associative Property say that it doesn't matter how we group the numbers (i.e. which we calculate first) when we add
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
The Commutative Property say we can swap numbers over and still get the same answer when we add
a + b = b + a
The Distributive Property:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
------------------------------------------
-3a + 4b + 5a + (-7b) = -3a + 5a + 4b + (-7b)
<h3>Answer: the commutative property</h3>
7 1/12 - 2 3/4
First we have to change mixed numbers to improper fractions
7 1/12 = 7 x 12 + 1 = 85 85/12
2 3/4 = 2 x 4 + 3 = 11 11/4
85/12 - 11/4
Now we need to find the LCD (least common denominator) for 4 and 12
4, 8, 12
12
12 is our LCD, so it becomes our new denominator
85/12 would stay the same because the denominator wasn't changed but for 11/4 our new denominator is 12, so our fraction will change.
11/4 = 33/12
4 goes into 12, 3 times. What you do to the bottom, you do to the top.
3 x 11 = 33
3 x 4 = 12
So, our new fraction is 33/12. Now we subtract
85/12 - 33/12 = 52/12
Now we convert back to a mixed number
52 ÷ 12 = 4 4/12 reduce
4 1/3
Hope this helps.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
step 2 : x + 3 = 0 and x - 5 = 0 ← correct
step 3
x = 3 and x = - 5 ← error made here with signs, correct statement should be
x + 3 = 0 ⇒ x = - 3
x - 5 = 0 ⇒ x = 5
