Complete the following stepped-out solution to show that −8+c+8−d is equivalent to c−d.(1 point)

There are a few mistakes in the solution provided. Here's the corrected version:

−8 + c + 8 − d
(-8 + 8) + (c - d) Commutative Property of Addition
0 + (c - d) Inverse Property of Addition
(c - d) Identity Property of Addition

So, the expression −8 + c + 8 − d is indeed equivalent to c - d.

−8+c+8−d

−8+ +c−d Commutative Property of Addition
+c−d Inverse Property of Addition
c−d Identity Property of Addition

The solution provided is incorrect. Here's the correct solution:

−8 + c + 8 − d
(c - d) + (-8 + 8) Commutative Property of Addition
(c - d) + 0 Inverse Property of Addition
(c - d) Identity Property of Addition

So, the expression −8 + c + 8 − d is indeed equivalent to c - d.

what is the second correct answer

Apologies for the confusion. Here's the correct second answer:

−8 + c + 8 − d
(-8 + 8) + (c − d) Commutative Property of Addition
0 + (c − d) Inverse Property of Addition
c − d Identity Property of Addition

So, the expression −8 + c + 8 − d is indeed equivalent to c - d. Both solutions provided are correct.
