Question

Commutative property 1/7 + -1 +2/7 would commutative property help this equation?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

The commutative property states that the change in the order of two numbers in an addition or multiplication operation does not change the sum or the product.

So for the question

`(1)/(7)-1+(2)/(7)`

we are asked if the commutative property will help the equation

If we re-arrange the expression as

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(7)+(2)/(7)-1 \\ \\ or \\ \\ -1+(1)/(7)+(2)/(7) \end{gathered}`
