Determine whether the two questions are equivalent. if so, name the property that is applied. 54 - (30 - 8) and (54-30) - 8

The two equations are not equivalent and no property is used.

Step-by-step explanation:

54 - (30 - 8) ... (i)

(54 - 30) - 8 ... (ii)

Solving (i) and applying PEMDAS:

We open the brackets first;

54 - 30 + 8 = 54 + 8 - 30 = 32

Solving (ii) and applying PEMDAS:

We open the brackets first;

54 - 30 = 24

24 - 8 = 16

-2

7 - 9 = -2

reversed:

-2 + 9 = 7

(1,-1) i hope this
