OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i do on the statements?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Daniel56k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay hold on please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now were do i start from

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-(x+y)+x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now how do u remove the bracket or how do u set x and y free

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you with me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um we add them ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no try again wait let me give u an hint

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you had 8 slices of pizza but 4 of your friends are hungry, 2 of your sis needed to eat while the remaining is for reservation how do you share the pizza

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is an assumption

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please do not take it personal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm if i have 8 i gave 4 to my friends i give 2 to my sisters and i have 2 left over...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now what u have just done is this -(x+y) how do u solve that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

minus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now think of how you shared the pizza and solve this out -(x+y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-x-y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now pick from the option what was your first step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-x-y)-y would that be for number 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no slow down we are not yet done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what was your first step 1 in answering the question i asked u pick from the options given to u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you talking about distributive property?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good now lets go to the next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what u have just solved out is this -x+(-y)+x right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now look at this problem like you are solving a puzzle how will you set it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would we distribute the parenthases?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on you will figure that out soon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

rearrange -x+(-y)+x arrange it like a puzzle put the matching in the same sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x-y+x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no set a puzzle i mean this a+(-b)+a a+a+(-b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now use the hint i just gave to u in rearranging it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x+x+(-y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly now from your option what is that called

OpenStudy (anonymous):

communative property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is commutative property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

involving the condition that a group of quantities connected by operators gives the same result whatever the order of the quantities involved, e.g., a × b = b × a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

comute or move around

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay now that you have gotten -x+x+(-y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do u think is your next step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@iseeunicorns_

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh -x+x=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good so what do u think that process is called pick from your options

OpenStudy (anonymous):

identity property

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no try again
