Last Question
Because this may not be the question you want, I'll omit the first step which should be done with latex. The key to all of these except C is to invert the second fraction (turn the second fraction upside down) and multiply.
A
=(6*-2) / (5*3) = - 12/15 = -4/5
B
= (7*5) / (4*3) = 35 / 12 = 2 11/12
C
Impossible to do 4/0 cannot be done.
D
= (-2*-4)/(3*5) =
8/15
Given:
The statements and reasons to solve an equation.
To find:
The missing reason.
Solution:
If a, b and c are three real number, then
Associative property of addition :
Commutative property of addition :
Multiplicative property of equality :
Distributive property of multiplication over addition :
In the given step, is written as
.
It means, only parenthesis are changed, which is possible by Associative property of addition.
So, the missing reason is Associative property of addition.
Therefore, the correct option is A.
