Answer 1

The equation \( 5x + 3 = x \cdot 5 + 3 \) can be tested by substituting \( x = 1 \).

When substituting \( x = 1 \):

• The left side becomes \( 5(1) + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8 \).
• The right side becomes \( 1 \cdot 5 + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8 \).

Both sides are equal, confirming the equation holds true for this substitution.

This relationship demonstrates that the multiplication of \( x \) with 5 can be commutated in terms of their positions in the expression since \( 5x \) and \( x \cdot 5 \) yield the same result because of the nature of multiplication being commutative.

Thus, the property being tested here is The Commutative Property of Multiplication.

So, the correct response is:

The Commutative Property of Multiplication

Answer 2

Which step contains an error using the Commutative Property of Addition in verifying 8+x^2+17x−x^2+4=10+4x^2+10x−4x^2+2+7x ?

Step 1: 8+4+x^2−x^2+17x=10+2+10x−4x^2+7x +4x^2

Step 2: 8+4+17x+x2−x2=10+2+4x2−4x2+10x+7x

Step 3: 12+17x+x^2=12−x^2+17x

Answer 3

To verify the correctness of each step involving the Commutative Property of Addition, let's evaluate the steps one by one.

Step-by-step Analysis:

1. Step 1: \( 8 + 4 + x^2 - x^2 + 17x = 10 + 2 + 10x - 4x^2 + 7x + 4x^2 \)

   Upon inspection, we can rearrange the right-hand side: \[ 10 + 2 + 10x - 4x^2 + 7x + 4x^2 = 12 + 10x + 7x + 2 = 12 + 17x \] The left-hand side simplifies to \( 8 + 4 + (x^2 - x^2) + 17x = 12 + 17x \). This appears correct.

2. Step 2: \( 8 + 4 + 17x + x^2 - x^2 = 10 + 2 + 4x^2 - 4x^2 + 10x + 7x \)

   Rearranging the right-hand side: \[ 10 + 2 + (4x^2 - 4x^2) + 10x + 7x = 12 + 10x + 7x = 12 + 17x \] The left side simplifies to \( 8 + 4 + 17x + (x^2 - x^2) = 12 + 17x \). This step seems correct as both sides equate.

3. Step 3: \( 12 + 17x + x^2 = 12 - x^2 + 17x \)

   In this step, we see an inconsistency. The left-hand side contains \( x^2 \), while the right-hand side has \( -x^2 \), which creates a mismatch.

Conclusion:

The error lies in Step 3, where \( x^2 \) on the left cannot equal \( -x^2 \) on the right.

Therefore, the correct response is:
