Use the commutative property of addition to write an equivalent algebraic expression

9(x+5)=9(5+x)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is tricky because you were probably thrown off by the multiplication step from the parentheses. Since the question wants you to demonstrate your knowledge of the commutative property of addition, you will only worry about inside the parentheses.

So, the commutative property is basically just moving numbers/variables around the addition sign to show that the answer will remain the same either way.

Because of this, we can simply move the (x+5) around to (5+x).

Final 9(x+5)=9(5+x)

hey there!

12 is twice as much as 6 because 6 goes into 12 2 times.

since the rabbit is twice as tall, we should multiply the weight of the first rabbit, 0.25, by 2.

0.25 x 2 = 0.5

therefore, the 12 inch chocolate rabbit weighs 0.5 lb, or half a pound.

hope this !
