Tributive Propertyeach of the following. Show for what valx - 2(x - 2) =X​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtraction is not commutative. For example, 4 − 7 does not have the same difference as 7 − 4. The − sign here means subtraction.

 

However, recall that 4 − 7 can be rewritten as 4 + (−7), since subtracting a number is the same as adding its opposite. Applying the commutative property for addition here, you can say that 4 + (−7) is the same as (−7) + 4. Notice how this expression is very different than 7 – 4.
