Answer:

5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property states that multiplying a sum or difference of two terms by a number is equal to multiplying the same number with each term of the sum or difference separately and then adding the products.

It can be written as:

a(b+c) = ab + ac

a(b-c) = ab - ac

So, for the given question,

=>5(2x-1) = 5(2x) - 5(1)

Please help! Due tonight<br><br> f(4) if f(x) = 3x - 1

marin [14]

To find f(4), you just replace wherever x is with 4.

f(x) = 3x - 1
⇒ f(4) = 3*(4) - 1
⇒ f(4)= 12-1
⇒ f(4)= 11.

f(4) = 11 is the final answer.

Hope this helps~

The ratio betwen €1.2 to £1
