Which property of operation could you use to show whether 7y + 7b + 3y and 7(y x b) + 3b are equivalent or not

Sagot :

Answer and explanation:

They are not equivalent because if we simplify the second expression, the result isn't the same:

7(y×b)+3b

= 7(yb)+3b

=7yb + 3b

Therefore 7yb+3b≠7y+7b+3y

And even though you meant

7(y+b)+3b

=7y+7b+3b

=7y+10b

7y+10b≠10y+7b
