Here are the solutions to the problems:

Mental Maths

  1. Step 1: Calculate the square roots.

    169=13\sqrt{169} = 13 36=6\sqrt{36} = 6

    Step 2: Subtract the results.

    13−6=713 - 6 = \boxed{7}
  2. Step 1: Multiply the numbers.

    2×3×5=6×5=302 \times 3 \times 5 = 6 \times 5 = \boxed{30}
  3. Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal and multiply.

    10% of 8000=0.10×8000=80010\% \text{ of } 8000 = 0.10 \times 8000 = \boxed{800}
  4. Step 1: Calculate the square root inside the parentheses.

    25=5\sqrt{25} = 5

    Step 2: Perform the subtraction inside the parentheses.

    (15−5)2=(10)2(15 - 5)^2 = (10)^2

    Step 3: Square the result.

    (10)2=100(10)^2 = \boxed{100}
  5. Step 1: Perform the addition inside the parentheses.

    (18+27)=45(18 + 27) = 45

    Step 2: Multiply the result by 3.

    45×3=13545 \times 3 = \boxed{135}
  6. Step 1: Any number multiplied by zero is zero.

    −19×0=0-19 \times 0 = \boxed{0}
  7. Step 1: Perform the addition inside the parentheses.

    (60+132)=192(60 + 132) = 192

    Step 2: Divide the result by 12.

    192÷12=16192 \div 12 = \boxed{16}
  8. Step 1: Perform the multiplication first (order of operations).

    6×10=606 \times 10 = 60

    Step 2: Add 1 to the result.

    60+1=6160 + 1 = \boxed{61}
  9. Step 1: Perform the multiplication first (order of operations).

    0×5=00 \times 5 = 0

    Step 2: Perform the subtractions from left to right.

    84−0−13=84−13=7184 - 0 - 13 = 84 - 13 = \boxed{71}
  10. Step 1: Perform the addition inside the parentheses.

    (20+25)=45(20 + 25) = 45

    Step 2: Divide the result by 5.

    45÷5=945 \div 5 = \boxed{9}

Classwork

  1. Use commutative property to prove the following: The commutative property of addition states that for any two numbers aa and bb, a+b=b+aa + b = b + a.

Part a· 3 steps

3+(−7)=(−7)+33 + (-7) = (-7) + 3

  1. Evaluate the Left Hand Side (LHS).

    $$
    3 + (-7) = 3 - 7 = -4
    $$
    
  2. Evaluate the Right Hand Side (RHS).

    $$
    (-7) + 3 = -4
    $$
    
  3. Compare LHS and RHS.

    Since $-4 = -4$, the statement is proven.
    

Part b· 3 steps

(−9)+(−6)+12=12+(−6)+(−9)(-9) + (-6) + 12 = 12 + (-6) + (-9)

  1. Evaluate the LHS.

    $$
    (-9) + (-6) + 12 = -9 - 6 + 12 = -15 + 12 = -3
    $$
    
  2. Evaluate the RHS.

    $$
    12 + (-6) + (-9) = 12 - 6 - 9 = 6 - 9 = -3
    $$
    
  3. Compare LHS and RHS.

    Since $-3 = -3$, the statement is proven.
    

Part c· 3 steps

21−(+5)+(−8)=21−(−8)+(+5)21 - (+5) + (-8) = 21 - (-8) + (+5)

The commutative property applies to addition. Let's rewrite the terms as additions:  
LHS: $21 + (-5) + (-8)$  
RHS: $21 + 8 + 5$
  1. Evaluate the LHS.

    $$
    21 - (+5) + (-8) = 21 - 5 - 8 = 16 - 8 = 8
    $$
    
  2. Evaluate the RHS.

    $$
    21 - (-8) + (+5) = 21 + 8 + 5 = 29 + 5 = 34
    $$
    
  3. Compare LHS and RHS.

    Since $8 \neq 34$, the given statement is **incorrect** as written.  
    However, if the intention was to show the commutative property for addition, it would be:  
    $21 + (-5) + (-8) = 21 + (-8) + (-5)$  
    Let's verify this correct application of the commutative property:  
    LHS: $21 + (-5) + (-8) = 21 - 5 - 8 = 8$  
    RHS: $21 + (-8) + (-5) = 21 - 8 - 5
