Answer: x > -8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 17 < 4x - 9 subtract 3x from both sides, and add 9 to both sides

-3x + 9 < -3x + 9

0 - 8 < x + 0 Rewrite and reverse the sign to simplify

x > -8

Renee is simplifying the expression (7) (StartFraction 13 over 29 EndFraction) (StartFraction 1 over 7 EndFraction). She recogni

dsp73

Answer:

The correct option is commutative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that Renee is simplifying is:

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})$

It is provided that, Renee recognizes that 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ are reciprocals, so she would like to find their product before she multiplies by $\frac{13}{29}$ .

The associative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=(a\times b)\times c=a\times (b\times c)$

The commutative property of multiplication states that:

$a\times b\times c=a\times c\times b=c\times a\times b$

The distributive property of multiplication states that:

$a\cdot (b+c)=a\cdot b+a\cdot c$

The identity property of multiplication states that:

$a\times 1=a\\b\times 1=b$

So, Renee should use the commutative property of multiplication to find the product of 7 and $\frac{1}{7}$ ,

$(7)\cdot(\frac{13}{29})\cdot(\frac{1}{7})=(7\times\frac{1}{7})\times\frac{13}{29}=\frac{13}{29}$

Thus, the correct option is commutative property.

Kelan shaded 0.5 of the rectangle what fraction equals 0.5

andre [41]

The decimal 0.5 represents the fraction 5/10. The decimal 0.25 represents the fraction 25/100. Decimal fractions always have a denominator based on a power of 10. We know that 5/10 is equivalent to 1/2 since 1/2 times 5/5 is 5/10.
