- the number 0 — additive identity
- a(b+c) = ab+ac — the distributive property
- an equation containing more than one variable — literal equation
- the number 1 — multiplicative identity
- the reciprocal of a number — multiplicative inverse
If x ≠ 0, then 1/x is its multiplicative inverse — true.
The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is 1 — true.
Answer:
x + x+12 + 3(x+12) = 123
x = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Jamil : x
Kiera : x+12
Luther : 3 ( x+12)
x + x+12 + 3(x+12) = 123
Distribute
x + x+12 + 3x+36 = 123
Combine like terms
5x+ 48 = 123
Subtract 48 from each side
5x+48-48 = 123-48
5x =75
Divide by 5
5x/5 = 75/5
x = 15
