Answer:

The distributive property allows you multiply a sum in parenthesis by multiplying each addend separately, then add the products.

Step-by-step explanation:

How to use the distributive law example.

2(x+4) = 16

To use the distributive law in this example multiply 3 by all terms in the parenthesis. Multiply 2 and x, then 2 and 4 to open the parenthesis.

2x+8=16

That is how you use the distributive law.

To continue solving, subtract 8 from both sides.

2x+8-8=16-8

2x=8

Divide 2 from both sides.

2x/2=8/2

x=4

Hope this helps!

The rate of change (dP/dt), of the number of people on an ocean beach is modeled by a logistic differential equation. The maximu

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2.4P(1 - \frac{P}{1200})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The logistic differential equation is as follows:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})$

In this problem, we have that:

$K = 1200$ , which is the carring capacity of the population, that is, the maximum number of people allowed on the beach.

At 10 A.M., the number of people on the beach is 200 and is increasing at the rate of 400 per hour.

This means that $\frac{dP}{dt} = 400$ when $P = 200$ . With this, we can find r, that is, the growth rate,

$\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})$

$400 = 200r(1 - \frac{200}{1200})$

$166.67r = 400$

$r = 2.4$

So the differential equation is:

$\frac{dP}{dt} = rP(1 - \frac{P}{K})$

$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2.4P(1 - \frac{P}{1200})$

Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses -5(2x-3w-6)

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

15w - 10x + 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(2x - 3w - 6)

= (-5 * 2x) + (-5 * -3w) + (-5 * -6)

= -10x + 15w + 30

= 15w - 10x + 30.

Hope this helps!
