Question

When solving an equation, Gabrielle's first step is shown below. Which property justifies Gabrielle's first step? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Option C is correct.

We have the two following equation -

$x^{2} +(6x^{2} +5)=5x^{2} -4$

We have to find out which property justifies Gabrielle's first step.

State the Associative property of Addition.

According to associative property of addition changing the grouping of addends does not change the sum.

For example -  ( 2 + 3 ) + 4 = 2 + ( 3 + 4 )

According to the question, on the left hand side, we have -

$x^{2} +(6x^{2} +5)$

Using the associative property of Addition, we can write the above expression as -

$(x^{2} +6x^{2} ) + 5$

which equals to :  $7x^{2}$ + 5

Hence, option C is correct.
