First bring all terms in 'a' to the left side of the formula by subtracting ac from both sides
ab - ac - cd = ac - ac
ab - ac - cd = 0
now add cd to both sides
ab - ac -cd + cd = cd
ab - ac = cd
now factor the left side by taking out the 'a'
a(b-c) = cd
now divide both sides by (b-c)
a = cd / (b-c)
done
Answer:
a. closed under addition and multiplication
b. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication.
c. not closed under addition and multiplication
d. closed under addition and multiplication
e. not closed under addition but closed under multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
a.
Let A be a set of all integers divisible by 5.
Let
∈A such that 
Find 

So,
is divisible by 5.

So,
is divisible by 5.
Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.
b.
Let A = { 2n +1 | n ∈ Z}
Let
∈A such that
where m, n ∈ Z.
Find 

So,
∉ A

So,
∈ A
Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.
c.

Let
but
∉A
Also,
∉A
Therefore, A is not closed under addition and multiplication.
d.
Let A = { 17n: n∈Z}
Let
∈ A such that 
Find x + y and xy


So,
∈ A
Therefore, A is closed under addition and multiplication.
e.
Let A be the set of nonzero real numbers.
Let
∈ A such that 
Find x + y

So,
∈ A
Also, if x and y are two nonzero real numbers then xy is also a non-zero real number.
Therefore, A is not closed under addition but A is closed under multiplication.
