TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Associative property of addition states: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c

OpenStudy (liv1234):

@TheSmartOne Can you help me with another question really quick after this one? I just need to double check

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

You can tell by all the answer choices what the correct answer is. 2 of them say multiplication, but the question has addition. And I assume you know the distributive property.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I'll try :)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

OpenStudy (liv1234):

@TheSmartOne this is the one I think it's A or B

OpenStudy (liv1234):

And so the answer to that other one would be the Associative Property of Addition?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

yes

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, what about the other one?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

3x - 3y = 15 Divide both sides by 3 x - y = 5 Now, solve for y :)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

y=x+5?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

nope, first add y to both sides then subtract 5 on both sides :)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

So, y=x-5?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

yes :)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Yay! Can you help me with one more please?

OpenStudy (liv1234):

OpenStudy (liv1234):

I know that it can't be addition, so it's definitely not C.

OpenStudy (liv1234):

I feel like it's B. Commutative Property of Multiplication @TheSmartOne

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Am I right? Ahhh, I'm confused.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

correct :)

OpenStudy (liv1234):

Yay!(: thank you for your help

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

anytime :D
