Answer:
D. Distributive proprety
Step-by-step explanation:
Because you have to distribute 2 to make it 2x and then do 2 (12) which is 24 and then add 2 to it again which equals 40
Answer:
x=3, y=4. (3, 4).
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=7
x+2y=11
--------------
-x-y=-7
x+2y=11
--------------
y=4
x+4=7
x=7-4
x=3
Usually one will differentiate the function to find the minimum/maximum point, but in this case differentiating yields:

which contains multiple solution if one tries to solve for x when the differentiated form is 0.
I would, though, venture a guess that the minimum value would be (approaching) 5, since the function would be undefined in the vicinity.
If, however, the function is

Then differentiating and equating to 0 yields:

which gives:

or

We reject x=5 as it is when it ix the maximum and thus,

, for
60 is the answer I hope this is right
