Prove z + z + z + z = 4z. Replace each step with the correct equivalent expression based on the given property or operation. Drag the correct tiles to show the steps in order. z + z + z + z = Step 1 (Multiplicative Identity Property) = Step 2 (Distributive Property) = Step 3 (Addition) = Step 4 (Commutative Property of Multiplication) z • 4 1 + (z • z • z • z) 4z z • 0 + z • 0 + z • 0 + z • 0 z • 1 + z • 1 + z • 1 + z • 1 z • (1 + 1 + 1 + 1) ↓ ↓ ↓

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Required

Match the steps with equivalent properties

Step 1: Multiplicative Identity Property

This states that:

So, the expression becomes:

Step 2: Distributive Property

This states that:

So, the expression becomes

Step 3: Addition

Here, we simply add the expressions in the bracket

Step 4: Commutative Property of Multiplication

This states that:

So, we have:

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
