This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

59% Answer Correctly

commutative

associative

distributive

PEDMAS


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{8} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
17\( \sqrt{8} \)
72\( \sqrt{8} \)
26\( \sqrt{2} \)
72\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{8} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(2)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
18\( \sqrt{2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

18\( \sqrt{2} \) + 8\( \sqrt{2} \)
(18 + 8)\( \sqrt{2} \)
26\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

What is -4z7 + 7z7?

66% Answer Correctly
-11z7
3z7
3z14
3z-14

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-4z7 + 7z7
(-4 + 7)z7
3z7


4

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Bob buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $22, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$24.20
$11.00
$30.80
$33.00

Solution

By buying two shirts, Bob will save $22 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$22 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1100}{100} \) = $11.00 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$22.00 + ($22.00 - $11.00)
$22.00 + $11.00
$33.00
