Answer:
D) Distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
We use distributive property because the 8 is distributed to the 7 and the negative three (it is negative because the expression can also be written as 8(7 + -3). This is how it will look after the distributing:
56 + -24
-11 = a + 7 Given
-7 -7 Subtract 7 on each side to cancel out +7 and isolate variable
-18 = a Answer
Prove.
-11 = -18 + 7 Plug in variable value
-11 = -11
True.
7) 29/9; repeating
8) 301/20; terminating
9) -101/20; terminating
