omplete the following stepped-out solution to show that −8+c+8−d is equivalent to c−d.(1 point)

−8+c+8−d
−8+
+c−d Commutative Property of Addition
+c−d Inverse Property of Addition
c−d Identity Property of Addition

−8+c+8−d can be rearranged using the Commutative Property of Addition as follows:

−8 + 8 + c − d

Next, we can use the Inverse Property of Addition to simplify -8 + 8 as 0:

0 + c − d

Since adding 0 to any number does not change its value, we can remove the 0:

c − d

Therefore, −8+c+8−d is equivalent to c−d.

Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that 511⋅w⋅115+3 is equivalent to w+3.(1 point)

511⋅w⋅115+3
511⋅
⋅w+3 Commutative Property of Multiplication
⋅w+3 Inverse Property of Multiplication
w+3 Identity Property of Multiplication

511⋅w⋅115+3 can be rearranged using the Commutative Property of Multiplication as follows:

511⋅115⋅w + 3

Next, we can use the Inverse Property of Multiplication to simplify 511⋅115 as 1:

1⋅w + 3

Since multiplying any number by 1 does not change its value, we can remove the 1:

w + 3

Therefore, 511⋅w⋅115+3 is equivalent to w + 3.

5 over 11 ⋅w+3 Commutative Property of Multiplication

The expression 5/11 ⋅ w + 3 cannot be simplified using the Commutative Property of Multiplication. This property states that the order of the factors can be changed without affecting the result of the multiplication. But in this case, we have a division (fraction) and addition, not just multiplication. Therefore, the Commutative Property of Multiplication does not apply here.
