WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT Which expression would be easier to simplify if you used the associative property to change the grouping?

area of rectangle a is 2 times that of rectangle b that means 2x+x =   36cm^2

3x = 36cm ^2

x = 36/3

x= 12cm^2

and 2x = 24cm^2

now side of square = are divided by sides = 36/4 = 6cm

that means length of rectangle a and b is 6cm too

now for rectangle a,

l*b = area

= 6*y=24

y=24/6 = 4

therefore dimensions of rectangle a are- length = 6cm, breadth = 4cm

and for rectangle b, length = 6cm and breadth = 6-4 = 2cm.

hope this .

the forelimbs below belong to four species that descended in a direct line from the ancestral mammal shown above. of the four descendants shown, which species most likely appeared earliest in evolutionary history?

so part 1: the y values stay the same, but the x values are opposite signs.

part 2 & 3: the line will be of equal lengths and will be straight.

part 4: you'd see the same characteristic because the x coordinate becomes a negative making them at equal distances from the y axis?
