HELP ASAP FOR BRAINLIEST!! Tell whether the expression in the pair is equivalent.

(the asterisks '*' stand for multiplication)

vwx * yz and v * w * zxy

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say each letter was a different number. When it comes to multiplication the order doesn't matter, plus the numbers that are together are just number multiplied.

Example:

(1)(2)(3)*(4)(10)Equals 240

If you switch those around, no matter what it will equal 240

They are equivalent

Both expressions have one copy of v, w, x, y, and z in some order all being multiplied. We can multiply any two numbers in any order we want

a*b = b*a

For example,

2*3 = 3*2

Since both equal 6.

We can extend this idea out to more than two things being multiplied and the order still doesn't matter. This idea is the commutative property of multiplication.

a

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation: given equation a = h(b 1+b 2)

also we are given values of a, h and b 1 as :

a = 16, h = 4, and b 1 = 3.

in order to solve it for b 2, we need to plug the given values of   a, h and b 1 .

therefore, plugging values of   a, h and b 1   in given equation, we get

16 = 4( 3 + b 2)

first dividing both sides by 4, we get

4 = 3 + b 2

subtracting 3 from both sides, we get

4 -3 = 3 -3 + b 2

1 = b 2.
