  a. -7, -7

  b. -14, 2

  c. -14, -14

  d. 1, -1

  e. misuse of the associative property leads to different results

Step-by-step explanation:

Your calculator (or a spreadsheet) can figure these easily.

a. -12 +(-4 +9) = 12 +5 = -7

  (-12 +(-4)) +9 = -16 +9 = -7

__

b. (14 -20) -8 = -6 -8 = -14

  14 -(20 -8) = 14 -12 = 2

__

c. (14 +(-20)) +(-8) = -6 -8 = -14

  14 +(-20 +(-8)) = 14 +(-28) = -14

__

d. -1 -(-1 +(-1)) = -1 -(-2) = -1 +2 = 1

  (-1 -(-1)) +(-1) = (-1+1) -1 = 0 -1 = -1

__

e. The associative property works for addition. When the associative property is used to rearrange subtraction problems, the minus signs need to be kept with the numbers, as in (c). That is, the problem needs to be expressed as a sum of signed numbers.

In (d), the term -(-1 +(-1)) was broken in the middle when the sum was rearranged for the second expression. Only terms in the same level of parentheses can be rearranged by the associative property.

rick has $1400 and sally has $1500

step-by-step explanation:

to find amount of money rick has after 10 years :

principal = $1000 , time = 10 years , rate = 4% annually

to find amount of money sally has after 10 years :

her friend gives to pay her $50 per year, therefore money she has after 10 years = 50 × 10 = $500

also, sally gets $1000 after 10 years,

therefore, total amount of money sally has after 10 years = 500 + 1000 = $1500

so, after 10 years : rick has $1400 and sally has $1500
