It's "commutative property," which says that (for addition/multiplication) order of the operator doesn't matter. For eg, 3 * 5 = 5 * 3.
Associative property (again, of multiplication and addition) means that it doesn't matter how you solve an expression if the same operand is used and some numbers are grouped. For eg. 3 * (5 * 4) = (3 * 5) * 4.
Answer: 30.5 and 35.5
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a system of linear equations to find out the answer to this problem. The larger number will be x and the smaller number will be y.
x=y+5
x+y=66
Substitute y+5 in for the bottom equation to get y+5+y=66. Simplify to get 2y+5=66. Subtract 5 from both sides and get 2y=61. Divide by 2 to get y=30.5. This is the smaller number. Add 5 to get the bigger number, which is 35.5
Answer:x=(y-6)/3
