Question

$5+2a+4=$

00:00 Solution

00:03 We will use the commutative law and arrange the exercise to make it easier to solve

00:09 We will solve according to the order of operations, solving from left to right

00:18 Each time we will solve the leftmost operation and then continue

00:25 And this is the solution to the question

Given that in the exercise there is only one addition operation, the substitution property can be used:

$5+4+2a=$
