No One changed anything. I even wrote it with variables.
Let me write it so you understand
A + B = B + A (check)
(Xa + Xb) = X(a+b) (check)
Z ÷ (Xa + Xb) can we factor out the X yes we can ---> Z ÷ X(a+b)

How credible do you really think you are when you stated that you dont need to solve/simplify whats in the parenthesis first?Originally Posted by yungchris504

48/2(9+3) =
48
____
2(9+3)
which is =/= to (48/2) (9+3)
Good day.

are you going to disprove the proof he just showed?

(Xa + Xb) = X(a+b) (check)

The thing though is there is no variables in this problem. 9+3 does not equal a+b it equals 12.Originally Posted by do work son

Replace the Z with 48 the X with 2 and the A with 9 and B with 3 I am asking if I chose to go this route am I wrong. I come to the conclusion it is up to the person solving the question. It can be either assumed factorization is taking place or the 48 is to be divided by the 2. Whoever made this question up got their point across.Originally Posted by LimitedRetroOG

Replace the variables with numbers. This is math all I was doing was showing a proof. How do you think equations are formed?
