How can I use the Distributive Property to answer 144 -:- 8??

1 answer:

6 0

Distributive property of division is that the division of a sum equals the division of the summands.
Algebraically, this is:
[x + y + z] / a = x/a + y/a + z/a.
So, applying this to 144 / 8, you can split 144 as [72 + 32 + 40] / 8 = 72/8 + 32/8 + 40/8 = 9 + 4 + 5 = 18

What is the point slope form of a line with slope 2 that contains the point (1,3)

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Option A y-3=2(x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a line into point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

In this problem we have

(x1,y1)=(1,3)

m=2

substitute

y-3=2(x-1)

ABC ≃DEF. Find the lengths of the given sides

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

BC = 8 and EF = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since triangle ABC and DEF are congruent to each other, BC corresponds with EF (as determined by the triangle names).

Set BC and EF equal to each other.

x + 6 = 3x + 2

Subtract x from both sides.

6 = 2x + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides.

4 = 2x.

Divide 2 on both sides.

x = 2.

Substitute 2 for x.

BC = 2 + 6

BC = 8

Since we already know that EF is congruent to BC, EF is also 8.

EC = 3(2) + 2

EC = 6 + 2

EC = 8

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y= -3x + 1 and passes through (2,3)?

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+2\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Let}\ k:y=_1x+b_1\ \text{and}\ l:y=m_2x+b_2.\\\\l\ \perp\ k\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\============================\\\\\text{We have}\ y=-3x+1\to m_1=-3.\\\\\text{Therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{-3}=\dfrac{1}{3}.\\\\\text{The equation of the searched line:}\ y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.\\\\\text{The line passes through }(2,\ 3).$

$\text{Put the coordinates of the point to the equation.}\ x=2,\ y=3:\\\\3=\dfrac{1}{3}(2)+b\\\\3=\dfrac{2}{3}+b\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\b=2\dfrac{1}{3}$
