Apply the commutative property to generate an expression equivalent to: 9 +10f - 3 + 7f - 9f - 5 + 13
To apply the commutative property, we can rearrange the terms within addition.
Starting with the given expression:
9 + 10f - 3 + 7f - 9f - 5 + 13
We can rearrange the terms:
(9 - 3 - 5 + 13) + 10f + 7f - 9f
Simplifying within parentheses:
(24) + 10f + 7f - 9f
Combining like terms:
24 + 8f - 9f
Simplifying further:
24 - f
