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)

Given mn, find the value of x.<br> 108

adoni [48]

Answer:

72 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Referencing off of line t being a straight line, a straight line is 180 degrees. If you subtract 108 from 180, you would get 72. Since this intersecting line is going through 2 paralel lines, the 2 groupings of angles reflect each other.

When y=-2, what kind of line does it have horizontal or vertical

Rashid [163]

Answer: Horizontal

Step-by-step explanation: The equation <em>y = -2</em> can be thought of as y = 0x - 2. So our line has a slope of 0 and a y-intercept of -2.

To graph it, we start with the y-intercept, down 2 units on the y-axis. Now, if the slope of a line is 0, then the line must be flat or horizontal.

So we just draw a horizontal line through the y-intercept of -2.

In fact, when the equation of any line reads y = a number, it's graph will always be a horizontal line. For example, y = 3, y = -10, y = -8 and so on.
