Which pair of expressions is equivalent using the Associative Property of Multiplication? (3 points) 5(3a ⋅ 4) = 15a ⋅ 20 5(3a ⋅
2 answers:
Answer:
5(3a ⋅ 4) = (5 ⋅ 3a) ⋅ 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The Associative Property is applied to two types of operations: addition and multiplication. This property indicates that, when there are three or more terms in these operations, the result does not depend on the way in which the terms are grouped.
In this sense, the associative property for the sum is mathematically given by:
and for the multiplication by:
Now, let:
Using the Associative Property of Multiplication:
Therefore the equivalent expressions are:
5(3a ⋅ 4) = (5 ⋅ 3a) ⋅ 4

Answer:
850 m²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 3 different pairs of rectangles—the side rectangles, the rectangles on the top and bottom, and the other side rectangles.
10x11=110
110x2=220
15x10=150
150x2=300
15x11=165
165x2=330
330+300+220=850 m².
Answer:
We know that:
She makes $19 per hour of lifeguarding.
She makes $8 per hour walking dogs.
She can work at most 7 hours per week.
She must earn a minimum of $80 per week.
If x represents the number of hours lifeguarding and y represents the number of hours walking dogs, the inequalities will be:
x + y ≥ 7 hours.
(this says that she can work at most 7 hours per week)
x*$19 + y*$8 ≥ $80
(this says that she can earn a minimum of $80)
Then the system of inequalities is:
x + y ≥ 7 hours.
x*$19 + y*$8 ≥ $80
To graph these two we can write them as lines in standard form and simply graph both inequalities, the solution of the system will be the intersection between the solutions of each inequality.
Here we also should add the inequalities:
x ≥ 0
y ≥ 0
So we only look at the first quadrant.
The graph can be seen in the image below: (the dark blue is the solution region for the first inequality, the light blue one is the solution region for the second inequality)
One possible solution can be:
x = 4 and y = 1
or
x = 4 and y = 2
and there are a lot of other possible solutions.
