Question

Use properties of equality to solve these equations. Identify the properties used and describe how you used them. help pls

6. (–5 • 7)25 = x(7 • 25)









7. 5x = 0









8. 63 = 1x









9. 1/8x=1









10. 65 • 92 • 17 = 92 • 17 • x

Answer 1

10. 65 = x

9. 8 = x

8. 63 = x [it gave you the answer]

7. 0 = x

6. -5 = x

Explanation:

#6 uses the Associative Property of Multiplication. #7 uses the Zero Product Property of Multiplication. #8 gave you the answer because x = 1x. For #9, you have to multiply ⅛ by its multiplicative inverse [reciprocal (8)] to get 1. #10 uses the Commutative Property of Multiplication.

**Associative and Commutative are the same thing, EXCEPT Commutative does NOT use grouping symbols. Associative does.
