Consider the reduction of the rectangle. A larger rectangle has a length of 18 inches and width of 8 inches. A smaller rectangle has a length of x inches and width of 3 inches. Write a proportion and then solve to find the missing measure of the reduced rectangle. What two ratios can be used in the proportion? What is the value of the missing measure?

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
