Question

1/2(2)+-(1) can be simplified to 1+(-1) . Name the property that was used to reach this step.
A. Multiplicative Inverse Property
B. Associative Property of Multiplication
C. Multiplicative Identity Property
D. Distributive Property

Answer 1

E ? really...lol

Answer 2

@massivewand unnecessary...

Answer 3

goodbye!

Answer 4

It appears that the simplification made between the first and second expression was that 1/2(2) changed to 1
That eliminates the Associative property (a*(b*c) = (a*b)*c) and Distributive Property. (a(b+c) = ab + ac) as answer choices.

Multiplicative Identity property is that anything multiplied by 1 = itself

That leaves one answer remaining. :)
Multiplicative Inverse property says that a * 1/a = 1 for any nonzero value replacing a; 5/5 = 1, -2/(-2) = 1, etc.

Answer 5

* Which is what we can see in the simplification, that 1/2 * 2 = 1; 2 and its inverse 1/2 multiply together to get 1.
