Which is an example of the opposite of a sum property? (Points : 4)
a –8 + (–13) = –13 + (–8)
b 11 + (–14 + 5) = (11 + (–14)) + 5
c 16 + (–16) = 0
d –(22 + 1) = –22 + (–1)
haha idk but same name lolol if i had to guess i would say c
thank you. and yeah belle .. bell lol
To figure out which option is an example of the opposite of a sum property, we first need to understand what the opposite of a sum property is.
The opposite of a sum property states that changing the order of addition does not affect the sum of the numbers.
Looking at the options given:
a) a –8 + (–13) = –13 + (–8)
b) 11 + (–14 + 5) = (11 + (–14)) + 5
c) 16 + (–16) = 0
d) –(22 + 1) = –22 + (–1)
Option b) is an example of the opposite of a sum property because it changes the order of addition within the parentheses, but the sum remains the same. The parentheses ensure that the addition within them is performed first, and the order of addition outside the parentheses does not change the result.
Therefore, option b) 11 + (–14 + 5) = (11 + (–14)) + 5 is an example of the opposite of a sum property.
