In this case u can’t use the distributive property. U just multiple whats in the parenthesis (39•5)=195 and that’s ur answer.
Let’s say if the problem said 5(2+1) u can’t use the distributive property bc u have to do what’s in the parentheses first. 5(3)=15
But If u had a problem like 2(4x+6) then u can use the distributive property. This is bc u can’t add 4x+6 bc they aren’t like terms. So u multiple the 2 by 4x which is 8x and the 2 by 6 which is 12 then ur answer would be : 8x+12
8/5 or 1.6 you just need to find the rise over the run
Each time they assume the sum<span> is </span>rational<span>; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an </span>irrational number<span> is equal to a </span>rational number<span>). Since the assumption that the </span>sum of a rational<span> and </span>irrational number<span> is </span>rational<span>leads to a contradiction, the </span>sum<span> must be </span>irrational<span>.</span>
