A = L * W
A = 357
W = 17
357 = 17L
357 / 17 = L
21 = L <== length is 21 inches
The slope of Zane is 18.50/2 = 9.25
Subtract both slopes to find the true statement.
10.5 - 9.25 = 1.25
The correct statement is:
abrielle earns $1.25 more than zane.
Hope this helps :)
The question does not make sense.
The commutative property applies to addition and multiplication, not addition and subtraction.
The commutative property does not apply to subtraction or division because in those operations, the order of the numbers makes a difference, whereas in addition and subtraction the order does not make a difference.
For example:
Addition
5 + 4 = 9
4 + 5 = 9
5 + 4 = 4 + 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives the same answer.
The commutative property does apply to addition.
Multiplication
5 * 4 = 20
4 * 5 = 20
5 * 4 = 4 * 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives the same answer.
The commutative property does apply to multiplication.
Subtraction
5 - 4 = 1
4 - 5 = -1
5 - 4 is not equal to 4 - 5
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives a different answer.
The commutative property does not apply to subtraction.
Division
5/4 = 1.25
4/5 = 0.8
1.25 is not equal to 0.8.
Changing the order of the 4 and the 5 gives a different answer.
The commutative property does not apply to division.
