Count how many squares are shaded in and choose the corresponding fraction i guess?
12 - 23 = -11
-11 + 1,345 = 1,334
1,334/123 = 10.85
Answer: 540
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A polling company reported that 53% of 1018 surveyed adults said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying."
To find: The exact value of 53% of 1018.
[we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into a fraction of decimal]

Hence, the 540 adults said that rising gas prices are "quite annoying."
Thus, the exact value = 540
The distributive property is a simplification rule that does not change the value of an expression. Nothing need be done to the other side of the equation.
q = -4(3+x)
q = -4*3 -4*x . . . . . the -4 is distributed. The right side has not changed value.
