Maya is showing her work in simplifying (5.2 − 4.5) − 5.5 + 4.8. identify any error in her work or reasoning. step 1: (5.2 − 4.5) − 5.5 + 4.8 step 2: 5.2 + (− 4.5 − 5.5) + 4.8 (identity property) step 3: 5.2 − 10 + 4.8 step 4: 5.2 + 4.8 − 10 (commutative property) step 5: 10 − 10 = 0 answers: she wrote identity instead of commutative in step 2. she wrote commutative instead of distributive in step 4. she wrote identity instead of associative in step 2. she wrote commutative instead of associative in step 4. will give brainliest if correct

I think it's the third one b/c the associative property states that it doesn't matter how you group the numbers in parenthesis in addition.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
