Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

This number is now 14, so you have

Subtract 6 from both sides:

Multiply both sides by 2:

Ehh, now it's letting me answer.
So the associative property is basically as long as it's addition or multiplication, you can move around the groupings and it will still be the same.
For example, you can say:(21 * 7) (3x) instead of (21)(7)(3x)
And it would be equal to the old version.
(To answer your other question, the commutative property is you can move around all the parts of the equation as long as it's addition or multiplication.)
So basically, it would be the first one you sent me.
Answer:
23 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
If <ADC is the arc measure of the circle, by definition the center angle (<ABC) has the same measure as its intercepted arc.
26/100 or simplified to 13/50
