Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
1. Option b) [tex]-2.1 - (5.9+3.7)[/tex]
2. Option b) [tex]-20 + (-40) + (-60)[/tex]
3. Associative property
4. Commutative property
5. -43
Step-by-step explanation:
1. We are given the expression:
[tex]-2.1 + (-5.9) + (-3.7)[/tex]
Now, if we take minus common from the last two terms, then, the expression would be of the form:
[tex]-2.1 - (5.9+3.7)[/tex]
Hence, the given expression is equivalent to option b) [tex]-2.1 - (5.9+3.7)[/tex]
2. We are given the expression:
[tex]-40 + (-20) + (-60)[/tex]
Now, if we rearrange the terms in the expression, then, the expression would be of the form:
[tex]-20 + (-40) + (-60)[/tex]
Hence, the given expression is equivalent to option b) [tex]-20 + (-40) + (-60)[/tex]
3. The property mentioned here is the associative property.
[tex]a+(b+c) = (a+b)+c[/tex]
4. The property mentioned here is the commutative property.
[tex]a+b = b + a[/tex]
5.
[tex]-35 + 7 + (-15)\\=7 - (35 + 15)\\= 7 - 50\\= -43[/tex]
