Answer 1

I'll give a medal :)

Answer 2

Have you considered evaluating the various expressions and solving for y?

Answer 3

Answer 5

CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE :)

Answer 6

Demonstrate it.

(–9.7 • 24) • (–0.25) = –9.7 • (24 • y)

Divide by -9.7

(24) • (–0.25) = (24 • y)

Are you SURE you want us to believe that you couldn't do that?

Okay, what else?

ascociative property

Answer 12

Let's try this...

(–9.7*24)*(–0.25) = –9.7*(24*y)

Divide by -9.7

(24)*(–0.25) = (24*y)

Are you SURE you want us to believe that you couldn't do that?

Okay, what else?

Answer 17

Yes, you can use the associative property, but CuteGirl903k doesn't seem to like that, either. Feel free to suggest a 3rd approach.

Did you divide by -9.7? That would help you on your way.

Do you know the associative property of multiplication? That will make this an eyeball problem. Just look at it and read off the answer.
