jwheele1 · Answer

Original is 5u + 5v + 8v + v + 10

A) 5u + 5v +8v +10
B) 5(u + v) + 8v + v + 10
C)  5u + 13v + v + 10

jwheele1 · Answer

I THINK it is B

jwheele1 · Answer

because 5 * 1u = 5u, and because 5 * 1v = 5v

jwheele1 · Answer

and the identity property is about multiplication by 1
