The usual rules of addition and multiplication apply to complex numbers as well as to real numbers. The true statements are ...
- x + y = y + x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . commutative property of addition
- (x × y) × z = x × (y × z) . . . . . . . . associative property of multiplication
- (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) . . . . . . . . associative property of addition
Answer:
all work is shown and pictured
6x+3=18
subtract 3 from both sides
6x=15
divide both sides by 6
x=2.5
5(4x-5)=155
distribute the 5
20x-25=155
add 25 to both sides
20x=180
divide both sides by 20
x=9
