Answer:
Jade's work makes sense, Peter's does not.
Step-by-step explanation:
What's wrong with Peter's work:
Peter did not apply associative property correctly. You cannot change what is inside the parenthesis. He also shouldn't be using associative property to solve this equation because it just doesn't make sense!
Jade's work:
She applied distributive property correctly and multiplied each term in the parenthesis by 2. All of her processes are logical and make sense! I could go on, but everything is correct lol
Best of wishes mate!
For the first Listing Exercise:
(NOT A)
1. 5x + 65 = 5(x + 13) because if you apply distributive property to the one from List B, it would equal the same as List A's answer.
2. 5(x + 1) = 5x + 5 because if you apply distributive property to the equation from List A, it would equal the same as the one from List B.
3. 1 + 5x = 5x + 1 because this is simple commutative property.. switching the placements.
The value of x in f(x)=4 is 4 because the f in f(x) is just 'naming' the equation, saying that x=a number, in this case, 4.
