Jerome tries to find the value of the expression 3-6+5 by first applying the communtative property. he rewrites the expression as 3-5+6. explain what is wrong with jeromes approach

The commutative property is a property of addition, not of subtraction. It can work in a subtraction problem if you keep the sign with the number, so you're adding positive and negative numbers.

3 - 6 + 5

= (3) + (-6) + (5)

= (3) + (5) + (-6)

= 3 + 5 - 6

12*c

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
