Subtract (7.8 - 5.1t) from (2.8 - 3.2t). Use
the Commutative Property to show the
difference another way.

we can use the commutative property to show the difference in the following ways:-

a. (-3.2t + 2.8) - (-5.1t + 7.8)

b. 1.9t - 5

c. (-3.2t + 2.8) - (-5.1t + 7.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Commutative simply has to do with "moving around". In the case of addition, the commutative property rule is "x + y = y + x". When it comes to numbers, it my 7 + 8 = 8 + 7. In the case of multiplication, the commutative property rule is "m × n = n × m". So whenever commutative property is referred to, what is expected is "to move around". Commutative property rule can be executed as you pair, add or subtract like terms e.g 2a - 4 + 9a can be rewritten as 2a + 9a - 4 or 11a - 4

In the question, we were asked to subtract (7.8 - 5.1t) from (2.8 - 3.2t) and use the commutative property to show the difference in another way.

Subtracting (7.8 - 5.1t) from (2.8 - 3.2t) will give:-

(2.8 - 3.2t) - (7.8 - 5.1t) (This is the original expression)

Removing the bracket:

2.8 - 3.2t - 7.8 + 5.1t

= 5.1t - 3.2t + 2.8 - 7.8 (we have now shown the difference in another way)

Subtracting the like terms, will give: 1.9t - 5 (This is also the difference shown in another way).

Recall that the initial expression was

(2.8 - 3.2t) - (7.8 - 5.1t).

We can also use the commutative property rule to show the difference in the following way:-

(-3.2t + 2.8) - (-5.1t + 7.8)

By so doing, the figures have been rearranged without altering or affecting the outcome of the expression.

damm bro the struggle

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
