No is your answer

Assuming that b ≠ a, the answers will not be the same.

For example, (remembering that b ≠ a) let us assume that b = 10, a = 5

10 - 5 = 5

5 - 10 = -5

5 ≠ -5

So the commutative property of subtraction does not work unless in certain cases, in which a = b.

hope this helps

Answer:

The probability of hitting an odd number three times is 3.375 times more than the probability of hitting an even number three times..

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of hitting an odd number = 3/5

Probability of hitting an odd number = 2/5

Probability of hitting an odd number three times = (3/5)^3

Probability of hitting an odd number three times = (2/5)^3

Now divide (3/5)^3 by  (2/5)^3 we get:

(3/5)^3 / (2/5)^3

(3)^3/(2)^3

27/8 = 3.375

The probability of hitting an odd number three times is 3.375 times more than the probability of hitting an even number three times..

loris book has 6 times more pages than sals book. the combined number of pages for the two books is 532. how many pages loris bo
julia-pushkina [17]
Your equation would be x+6x=532. You would add the "x's" together to get 7x=532. You would then divide each side by 7 resulting in x=76. This means Sal's book has 76 pages. To get Lori's book, you just times Sam's by 6 (76×6) which is 456. Lori's book has 456 pages.
