Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that 15+g+32⋅23 is equivalent to 16+g.
15 + g + 3/2 ⋅ 2/3
Using the Inverse Property of Multiplication, we know that any non-zero number multiplied by its reciprocal equals 1. Therefore, 3/2 times 2/3 equals 1.
15 + g + 1
Using the Commutative Property of Addition, we can rearrange the terms in any order without changing the sum.
15 + 1 + g
Adding 15 and 1:
16 + g
Therefore, 15+g+32⋅23 is equivalent to 16+g.
