commutative property of addition
symmetric property

Five dinosaurs go for a walk and come across some lovely chicken wings. their names are rexy, bronto, steggy, paly, and terry. there are exactly 5 dozen wings(equal enough for each dino to have a dozen right? ); however, terry is on a diet and he only eats 6 wings. if paly eats 2 more than terry, steggy eats 4 more than paly, and bronto and rexy eat the same amount because they are really hungry from not eating all day, how many chicken wings did each dino eat?

Three numbers x, y, and z are in the ratio 2: 7: 8. if 12 is subtracted from y, then three numbers form a geometric sequence (in the order x, y–12, z). find x, y, and z. there are 2 sets.

Which expression is equivalent to 16 in exponential form? a) 4 × 4 b) 8 × 2 c) 23 d) 24
