Answer 2

Is commutative the same as subtraction?

Answer 3

nope

Answer 4

smh hold on then

Answer 5

okay girl

Answer 6

That's the only choices huh? Because I still think it would be the subtraction one unless you multiply both sides to get rid of the 12?

Answer 7

those are the only choices omg

Answer 8

I say C since you can multiply (1/12)(h+12) = (1/12)(26) buuuuut that's just a guess

Answer 9

thanks

Think about addition (option A) as an answer.

Adding negative numbers is the equivalent of subtraction. Do you agree?

h + 12 = 26

h + 12 + (-12) = 26 + (-12)

h = ?

Answer 11

That does make sense too and it's probably the better answer since it doesn't give you a fraction, I hadn't thought of it that way, thanks

Answer 12

multiplication property
