Ok, so first you would distribute because you can't get at the inside of parnthasees with that nasty 4

so distributive property to do
4(x-3)=4x-4(3)=4x-12
so B is answer

you could divide both sides by 4, but that wouldmake it harder


B is answer

Explain how to write numbers in expanded form when the number includes a zero?​
Alina [70]

Step-by-step explanation:

Expanded notation may be defined as the way of expressing a number by exhibiting its value of each of the digit.

In an expanded notation, the number is always represented as a summation of each of the digit times its place value, while in the expanded form, an addition is used between the place value numbers.

A number containing zero can be written in the expanded form as for example,

509,300

Since digit 5 is 100,000th place, 9 is in 1,000th place and the digit 3 is 100th place, the number can be written as --

5 x 100,000 + 9 x 1,000 + 3 x 100

Herbert plans to use the earnings from his lemonade stand according to the table above, for the first month of operations. If he
FinnZ [79.3K]

Table is attached below

From the table we can see that the Lemon cost is equal to 35% of the expenses

Let the expense be x, Lemons cost is 70

Lemon cost = 35% * x

70 = 35% * x ( 35% = \frac{35}{100} = 0.35)

70 = 0.35 * x

x = \frac{70}{0.35}

x= 200, Expense = $200

Given : Profit percentage is 15%= \frac{15}{100} = 0.15

Profit = profit percentage * Expense

Profit = 0.15 * 200 = 30

So profit = $30
