Hmm, it looks like it could be commutative property of multiplication.
The order of the expression is different.
4(2+3)=
4(5)=20
(2+3)4=
(5)4= 20
I waited here one minute and no attachment.
Answer:
4 gifts
Step-by-step explanation:
We have in total have a ribbon that measures 1.75 meters, and divide that into three equal pieces, therefore:
1.75 / 3 = 0.5834
Now, we are told that we must calculate how many bows he can make, knowing that each bow is 7/48, therefore:
0.5834 / (7/48) = 4
Which means that you can make 4 gifts since you can make 4 bows in total
We presume you want to find values of x that make this true.
Subtract the right side and factor:
Once you have factors whose product is zero, you can find the values of x that make those factors zero. A product can only be zero if one or more contributing factors is zero.
To solve 2x-5=0, you can add 5 then divide by 2:
... 2x -5 = 0
... 2x = 5
... x = 5/2
