Glad I can help you!!

Answer:

Definition: The associative property states that you can add or multiply regardless of how the numbers are grouped. By 'grouped' we mean 'how you use parenthesis'. In other words, if you are adding or multiplying it does not matter where you put the parenthesis.

The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around", so the Commutative Property is the one that refers to moving stuff around. For addition, the rule is "a + b = b + a"; in numbers, this means 2 + 3 = 3 + 2. For multiplication, the rule is "ab = ba"; in numbers, this means 2×3 = 3×2.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope m=

$\frac{54-36}{27-22} =\frac{18}{5}$

$y-36=\frac{18}{5}(x-22)\\\\5y-180=18x-396\\\\y=\frac{18x}{5} -\frac{46}{5}$

$0=\frac{10}{5}x-\frac{46}{5}\\\\x=\frac{216}{18} =12$

Answer:

With the 24 ounces of water he would have 9 ounces of food coloring.

Step-by-step explanation:

For ever 8 ounces of water there is 3 ounces of food coloring so if there is 24 ounces of water that mean there is 3 times the original starting amount. So 8x3=24 so there is 24 ounces of the water. Since the8 got multiplied by 3 that means the 3 we haven't used yet will get multiplied by 3 as well so we can find the answer. So 3x3=9. That means we would have 9 ounces of food coloring with the 24 ounces of water.
