Troy and Lazetta are solving the following word problem: Rosalie's cat weights 9.7 pounds. Her dog weighs 25.8 pounds. What is the weight of both animals
combined?
Troy sets up his problem as 9.7 + 25.8. Lazetta sets up her problem as 25.8 +9.7. Who is correct? Complete
the explanation of your answer.

1). 35.5

2).commutitive property of addition

3).Both

Step-by-step explanation:

1). 35.5

2).commutitive property of addition

3).Both

option a.

step-by-step explanation:

if you look closely at the graph, we can notice that the function is not defined at two different points.

if you look at functions b and c, you will notice that both functions are not defined at just one point. the function b is not defined at x= -5/2 and function c is not defined at x=-5. both options are discarded, given that our function should not be defined at two fiferent points.

now, if you look closely at the graph you will notice that the function sketched is not defined at x=5 and x=-2.
