Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that −7+[(8⋅m)⋅18]+7
- 7 + __ + [(8 x m) x 1/8]: commutative property of addition
__ + [(8 x m) x 1/8]: inverse property of addition
(8 x m) x 1/8: identity property of addition
(8 x __) x m: associative property of multiplication
(__) x m: inverse property of multiplication
m: identity property of multiplication
- 7 + [(8⋅m)⋅18] + 7
- 7 + (8⋅m⋅18) + 7: commutative property of addition
- 7 + (8⋅m⋅18) + 7
(8⋅m⋅18): inverse property of addition
(8⋅m⋅18)
(8⋅18)⋅m: associative property of multiplication
144⋅m
144m: identity property of multiplication
