First simplify the expression into polynomial form,



Now factor into,

Which means the solutions are,


and then two complex solutions because determinant of the third factor
,



Hope this helps :)
Answer:
Option D is correct.
Explanation:
Commutative Property of Multiplication define that two numbers can be multiplied in any order.
i.e
Distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers i.e, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately.

Associative property of multiplication states that multiplication allows us to group factors in different ways to get the same product.
Given:
A = 
B = 
C = 
then;

Using Commutative property of Multiplication we can write
then we have;

Using Distributive property of multiplication;

by using associative property of multiplication ,

Therefore, the reasons for A , B and C in this proof are;
A.commutative property of multiplication
B. distributive property
C. associative property of multiplication

Answer: D) One solution</h3>
==========================================
Work Shown:
2(b+3)-17 = 3b-7+b
2b+6-17 = 4b-7
2b-11 = 4b-7
-11+7 = 4b-2b
-4 = 2b
2b = -4
b = -4/2
b = -2
There is one solution and it is b = -2
A quick way to tell we have one solution is to note that both sides are a linear expression, and that the slopes of each linear expression are different values. If you had two lines with the same slope, then you'd have either parallel lines or coinciding lines (leading to no solutions and infinitely many solutions respectively). When you have two lines with two different slopes, then they are guaranteed to intersect only once. That intersection point is the solution.
x = 5/7 - 3/5 = 25/35 - 21/35 = 4/35
