It's "commutative property," which says that (for addition/multiplication) order of the operator doesn't matter. For eg, 3 * 5 = 5 * 3.
Associative property (again, of multiplication and addition) means that it doesn't matter how you solve an expression if the same operand is used and some numbers are grouped. For eg. 3 * (5 * 4) = (3 * 5) * 4.

Answer:
x = 2.5 or 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 3/4.
|5 -x| = 10/4 = 2.5
This resolves to two equations:
- 5 -x = 2.5 ⇒ x = 5 -2.5 = 2.5
- 5 -x = -2.5 ⇒ x = 5 +2.5 = 7.5
The solutions are x = 2.5 or 7.5.
The second showing had begun at 5:25. And there had been a 1/2 hour (30 minutes) break before it. So we substract this break from 5:25 and we get 4:55 - the time when the first showing had ended.
So the first showing had begun at 2:30 and had ended at 4:55. By substracting 2:30 from 4:55 we get 2:25 - that's the duration of the video.
The answer is 2 hours and 25 minutes.
