9. Identify the correct property being shown. (-5.2 + (-8.4)) + (-2.8) = -(5.2 + 8.4) + (-2.8)

-16.4, (commutative property)

Step-by-step explanation:

(add, because they are both negatives) -5.2+(-8.4)= -13.6

Then add the (-2.8): -13.6 + (-2.8) = -16.4

Thats your first equation!!!

do the same thing for the other one, and by the way it the same answer.

Its commutative prop because its just switching positions and its adding negatives.

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
