Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that −7+[(8⋅m)⋅1/8]+7 is equivalent to m.
−7+__+[(8⋅m)⋅1/8] - Commutative Property of Addition
__+[(8⋅m)⋅1/8] - Inverse Property of Addition
(8⋅__)⋅ m - Associative Property of Multiplication
(__)⋅m - Inverse Property of Multiplication
−7+[(8⋅m)⋅1/8]+7 is equivalent to m.
−7+__+[(8⋅m)⋅1/8] (Commutative Property of Addition)
__+[(8⋅m)⋅1/8] (Inverse Property of Addition)
(8⋅__)⋅ m (Associative Property of Multiplication)
(__)⋅m (Inverse Property of Multiplication)
Therefore, −7+[(8⋅m)⋅1/8]+7 simplifies to m.
