Which property of operations can be used to rewrite the expression without the parentheses?

The Commutative Properties of Addition and Multiplication ... in an addition expression can be grouped in different ways without changing the sum. ... Mathematicians often use parentheses to indicate which operation should be done ... Rewrite 7 + 2 + 8.5 – 3.5 in two different ways using the associative property of addition.

Step-by-step explanation:

I learned this and i still know it. I dont have a explanation

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
