The Associative Property say that it doesn't matter how we group the numbers (i.e. which we calculate first) when we add
(a + b) + c = a + (b + c)
The Commutative Property say we can swap numbers over and still get the same answer when we add
a + b = b + a
The Distributive Property:
a(b + c) = ab + ac
------------------------------------------
-3a + 4b + 5a + (-7b) = -3a + 5a + 4b + (-7b)
<h3>Answer: the commutative property</h3>
You’d have to try to get r on one side of the equation.
You can do that by subtracting 12 from both sides which would make it so
R = -9
Answer:
½
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 marbles. 3 are white.
So, it's 3/6 and that's ½
Answer:
The first number is 20, the second one is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and the second number be y
Since it says "9 is the difference between two numbers", the first equation will be x-y=9
It also says that "their sum is 31". That means the second equation will be x+y=31
here are the two equations:
x-y=9
x+y=31
You can solve this any way you like, but I'll show elimination
add the two equations
x-y=9
x+y=31
2x=40
divide by 2
x=20
Substitute 20 as x in one of the equations
20+y=31
subtract 20 from both sides
y=11
That means the two numbers are 20 and 11
Hope this helps!
