The commutatice property for addition says a+b=b+a
If it was for subtraction, then it would be a-b=b-a
Take a=7 and b=5
7-5 is not equal to 5-7
2 is not equal to -2
So subtraction is not commutative for whole numbers.
Hope this helps :)
Hey there!
Question #1.
2^6 + (2^3)^3
= 64 + (8)^3
= 64 + 8^3
= 64 + 512
= 576
Therefore, the answer should be:
Option A. 576
Question #2.
11^-4 * 11^8
= 1/14,641 * 214,358,881
= 14,641
≈ 11^4
Therefore, the answer should be:
Option C. 11^4
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
