Question

Solve the left side and show exact steps to solve. Also, can you use algebraic terms for each step " Distributive property or Associative Multiplicative property" as of that

Answer 1

Ok, so

Given that:

$\begin{gathered} m+n=p \\ p=3r \\ m=n \end{gathered}$

We have to prove that:

$3r=2n$

Notice that if m = n, then,

$\begin{gathered} m+n=p \\ n+n=p \\ 2n=p \end{gathered}$

We also know that p=3r, so:

$\begin{gathered} 2n=p=3r \\ \end{gathered}$

Therefore,

$3r=2n$
