Celinda thought of 89.5 in parts, 80 + 9 + 0.5, and divided each part: 80 ÷ 10 = 8; 9 ÷ 10 = or 0.9; 0.5 ÷ 10 = 0.05. Then she added the parts to get 8.95. What do you notice?

Dividing each part into 10 and then summing the results up, is equivalent to dividing 89.5 into 10.  

Step-by-step explanation:

This example refers to the Distributive Property of the division, which is valid when the dividend is decomposed.

A simple example could be: 400 ÷ 10 = (200 ÷ 10) + (200 ÷ 10)

In the exposed example we know that 89.5 = 80 + 9 + 0.5.

(80/10) + (9/10) + (0.5/10) =

8 + 0.9 + 0.05=

8.95

89.5/10 = 8.95

no, the equation would be invalid since they are both not equal.

step-by-step explanation:

here you got

4y-6+4y 2-9

first, you would simplify the equation on the form.

4y-6+4y 2-9

then, move all the terms that contains a y to the left and all the other terms to the right.

+4y-4y+-9-6

finally, you will simplify the left and the right side of the equation.

y=-3
