The commutative property is a property of <em>addition</em>, not of <em>subtraction</em>. It can work in a subtraction problem if you keep the sign with the number, so you're adding positive and negative numbers.

3 - 6 + 5

= (3) + (-6) + (5)

= (3) + (5) + (-6)

= 3 + 5 - 6

Answer:

  21 kWh

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Subtract 25% from the original amount.

  25% of 28 kWh is ...

  0.25 × 28 kWh = 7.00 kWh

Subtracting this from 28 kWh, we find the usage after reduction to be ...

  28 kWh - 7 kWh = 21 kWh

__

2. We know that if we reduce 100% of a quantity by 25%, then the resulting amount is (100 -25)% = 75% of the original. As a fraction, this is 75/100 = 3/4 of the original amount. Then the reduced usage is ...

  (3/4) × (28 kWh) = 3·(7·4)/4 kWh = 3·7 kWh = 21 kWh

__

Mario must reduce his usage to 21 kWh or less.

Helppppp meeeeeeeee Explain how to evaluate
poizon [28]

A variable is a letter, for example x, y or z, that represents an unspecified number.

6 + x = 12

To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12.
