Britney is solving a quadratic equation. Her first

step is shown below.

Problem: 3x^2– 8-10x = 3(2x + 3)

Step 1: 3x2^2 - 10x - 8 = 6x + 9

Which two properties did Britney use to get to step

1?

I addition property of equality

II. commutative property of addition

III. multiplication property of equality

IV. distributive property of multiplication

over addition

1) I and II

2) I and IV

3) II and III

4) II and IV

Respuesta :

Britney used commutative property of addition and distributive property of multiplication  over addition to get to step

The answer is II and IV ⇒ answer 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation is:

3x² - 8 - 10x = 3(2x + 3)

Britney's step is:

3x² - 10 x - 8 = 6x + 9

Lets explain the meaning of:

1. Commutative property of addition is: you can add a and b or b and a

   both give the same answer

2. Distributive property of multiplication over addition is: when the

   number a is multiplied by the sum of two numbers (b + c), the

   first number a can be distributed to both b and c and multiplied

   by each of them separately, then adding the two products ab and

   ac together for the same result as multiplying the first number a by

   the sum (b + c) ⇒ a(b + c) = ab + ac

3. Addition property of equality is: the property that states if you

   add the same number to both sides of an equation, the sides

   remain equal

4. Multiplication property of equality is: The property that states if

   you multiply both sides of an equation by the same number, the

   sides remain equal

Now let us explain Britney's step

∵ She change the places of the terms - 10x and - 8

- She arranges the terms of the left hand side from greatest power

  of x to the numerical term

∴ She used the commutative property of addition

∵ She multiplied 3 by 2x and multiplied 3 by 3

- She multiplied the number out side the bracket by each of the

  two terms in the bracket

∴ She used the distributive property of multiplication over addition

Britney used commutative property of addition and distributive property of multiplication  over addition to get to step

The answer is number 4) II and IV
