Question

If ab = 37 and xy = 1/37, what is the value of the product x • b • y • a?

Use the commutative and associative properties of multiplication to evaluate.

Answer 1

x • b • y • a
= (xy)(ab)
= (1/37)(37)
= 1

Answer 2

I wasn't sure about this problem either. I was confused on how to show the properties. Thanks for the help. You may also add on more properties to solve the problem

Answer 3

it aint that simple. the equation is xbya so xy= 1/37 and ab= 37.
So you do a*b=37
x*y=1/37
9=a b=3.33333333
5.888888=x y=3
So the answer would be 87730.9796749
