Solve the following problem. All the given measurements are in centimeters.

Simonne used the following steps to simplify the given expression. 12 - 3(-2x + 4) step 1: 12 + (–3)·(–2x) + (–3)·(4) step 2: 12 + 6x + (–12) step 3: 12 + (–12) + 6x step 4: 0 + 6x step 5: 6x what property of real numbers was used to transition from step 3 to step 4? a. identity property of addition b. inverse property of addition c. associative property of addition d. commutative property of addition

With these: 18/36 = 1/? missing number change 1 5/8 to improper fraction. change 19/5 to a mixed number.

Explain how you can use the associative property to evaluate (7x50)x4.
