First Method (Distributive Property)
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Rearrange the equation to make it easier.
(-5) (2m - 5m)
In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).
-10m + 25m
15m
Second Method
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.
(-3m) (-5)
Multiply.
15m
15m is your answer. I hope this helps!
Answer:
The total area is 300 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the area of the rectangle
A = l*w = 24*10 = 240
Then find the area of the triangle on the top
A = 1/2 bh
The base is 24 and the height is 15-10 = 5
A = 1/2 (24)*5 = 60
Add them together
240+60 = 300
The total area is 300 ft^2
7/8 because there are 8 pieces of pizza and they eat 7 slices of pizza.
