Question

Use properties and definitions of operations to show that the statement is true. Justify each step.
15 x (3 / b) = 45 / b

Answer 1

hmm \[15 \times (\frac 3b) \implies \frac{15 \times 3}{b}\]does that help?

Answer 2

I'm supposed to do like a proof, I'll show you what I have

Answer 3

(15 x 3) div (15 x b) = 45 div b : Distributive prop. of mult. and add.
45 div (15b) = 45 div b : Def. of mult.

Answer 4

this isnt distributive property..

Answer 5

I'm sorry I am just so confused....

Answer 6

i think it's just multiplication....

Answer 7

But the properties...?

Answer 8

although there may be a proper term...im not familiar with fancy terms

Answer 9

Do you want my list of properties? I could do this if I didnt have to write it as a proof.

Answer 10

sure give me a list of the proeprties

Answer 11

oh wait...i think i got it

Answer 12

15 x(3/b) = (15x3)/b

what i did was associative property

Answer 13

Oh okay!

Answer 14

Okay I think I got it thanks!

Answer 15

welcome ^_^

Answer 16

Do you think you can help me with another question similar to this?

Answer 17

sure why not

Answer 18

Okay thank you so much!

(a+b) - c = a + (b-c)

Answer 19

that's associative property too

Answer 20

It would just be associative property right?

Answer 21

Oh.. haha Thanks(:

Answer 22

yup

Answer 23

Thank you sooo much!

Answer 24

welcome ^_^
