Why might you want to use the commutative property to change the integers

To keep the equation equal. what you do on one side should be done to the other.

Cbecause they are equal so that means it is the same on both sides? ! hope this

1. isolate the variable, in this case, d. subtract 35.5 on both sides of the equation.2. 52 subtracted by 35.5 is 16.53. therefore your answer would be d= 16.5this is the basics of pre algebra, isolating variable through adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, if you have any other questions to ask just comment!
