Answer:

The first example: a · (b · c) = (a · b) · c

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property regroups values by changing the location of parentheses. If you notice, the order of the values is not changed. Both sides have a x b x c, only the parentheses have been moved. Moving the parentheses changes the progression of what is multiplied (whatever is in the parentheses is multiplied together first) but doesn't change the final answer.

Answer:

A) a • (b • c) = (a • b) • c

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property of multiplication (or addition) shows that the order the numbers are multiplied it irrelevant, more specifically in the manners of parentheses.

So, the answer is A, which can also be seen in that substituting a as 5, b as 3, and c as 6 gives us the first example.

Phillip is standing across the classroom from his desk. He walks x steps in a straight line to his right, turns left at a 90° an

Rainbow [258]

For this case, we can model the problem as a triangle with a right angle.
Where,
x, y: lengths of the sides of the triangle
d: hypotenuse of the triangle
We then have the following relationship:
$d ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + y ^ 2
$
Clearing d we have:
$d = \sqrt{ x^2 + y^2}$
Answer:
A functions that would best model the situation above is:
D square root

Twice the difference of a number and 16 is the same as three times a number less than 18

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the "number."

"twice the difference of a number and 16" can be written as:

2(x-16)

"is the same as three times a number less than 18" can be written as:

= 3(x<18)

I wonder if this was meant to say "is the same as three times a number less 18," instead of "less than 18." If so, we would have:

=3(x-18)

1. Using the sentence as written: 2(x-16) = 3(x<18)

2. Using the sentence as amended: 2(x-16) = =3(x-18)

Going with this interpretation:

2(x-16) = 3(x-18)

2x - 32 = 3x - 54

x = 22

Order 34 × 102, 1.2 × 107, 8.11 × 10–3 and 435 from least to greatest.

I will assume that this question is about scientific notation (also assuming that the first number is 3.4*10^2), where you can arrange the numbers by the exponent of the 10, so from least to greatest:
$8.11*10^{-3}$ , $3.4*10^{2}$ , 435, and $1.2*10^{7}$
