Property/Operation | Before | After |
---|---|---|
Commutative Property of Addition | ( 4+ 105x)+5 | ( 105x+ 4)+5 |
Associative Property of Addition | (105x + 4 ) +5 | 105x+ ( 4 + 5 ) |
Add Terms | 105x+( 4+5) | 105x+ 9 |
Commutative Property of Addition | 105x + 9 | 9 + 105x |
Since 9 and 105x are not like terms, we cannot simplify further.
