Answer:

Option A, F and G are correct.

Explanation:

Given the expression


8.(1)/(8)+(-1)+5=5

We have to select the statement that justify the above expression.

LHS is


8.(1)/(8)+(-1)+5


\text{Here, }(1)/(8) \text{is the inverse of 8 which is to be multiplied}

∴ inverse-muliplication

Now, there are 3 terms

1+(-1)+5 which is to be solved

Now, first two are to be added i.e

Associative-addition and commutative-addition takes place.

Hence, option A, F and G are correct.
