Hello!  To answer your question, you first need to know what the commutative property is and does.  Down to the basics, it lets you switch around numbers and it would allow me to say that 2+5=7 and 5+2=7.  This property also works in multiplication, because if I take 4*2=8, and 2*4 still equals 8.  Now that I've either refreshed or hopefully helped you to understand the property better, why wouldn't it work under subtraction?  If you switch numbers around in subtraction, will your answer still be the same?  Once you answer that, take a peak at the worksheet!  I hope this has helped in some way, and if you have any further questions send me a question or another message.  Good luck :)

Answer with explanation:

Commutative property under subtraction:

If a and b are any two real numbers such that,⇒ a-b =b-a, then we say that ,a and b Satisfy Commutative property under Subtraction.

Take any two real numbers

a=5.6

And,b=7

→a-b

=5.6-7

= -1.4

→b-a

=7-5.6

=1.4

So,a-b≠b-a

Therefore  , we can say that, real numbers doesn't satisfy commutative property under subtraction.

Option D: ⇒5-1≠1-5

This statement shows that, commutative property doesn't work under subtraction.

A student performed the following steps to find the solution to the question x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0. Where did the student go wrong?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D  In step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial:  x² - 2x - 15 = 0

Step 1:  factor the polynomial ⇒ (x + 3)(x - 5) = 0

Step 2:  x + 3 = 0  and  x - 5 = 0

Step 3:  x = -3  and x = 5

x - 5 = 0

Add 5 to both sides:

⇒ x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5

⇒ x = 5
