Select the property not used in the following (2+a) - 7 (a + 2) - 7 a + (2 - 7) a + (-5) a - 5 associative commutative distributive subtraction

(2 + a) = (a + 2) it's commutative property

(a + 2) - 7 = a + (2 - 7) it's associative property

2 - 7 = -5 it's subtraction

distributive property { a(b + c) = ab + ac }

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

−3

x=17

answer:

x=17
