Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property of multiplication is a very useful property that lets you simplify expressions in which you are multiplying a number by a sum or difference. The property states that the product of a sum or difference, such as 6(5 – 2), is equal to the sum or difference of the products – in this case, 6(5) – 6(2).

 

Remember that there are several ways to write multiplication. 3 x 6 = 3(6) = 3 • 6.

3 • (2 + 4) = 3 • 6 = 18.

 

Distributive Property of Multiplication over Addition

 

The distributive property of multiplication over addition can be used when you multiply a number by a sum. For example, suppose you want to multiply 3 by the sum of 10 + 2.

 

3(10 + 2) = ?

 

According to this property, you can add the numbers and then multiply by 3.

3(10 + 2) = 3(12) = 36. Or, you can first multiply each addend by the 3. (This is called distributing the 3.) Then, you can add the products.

 

The multiplication of 3(10) and 3(2) will each be done before you add.

3(10) + 3(2) = 30 + 6 = 36. Note that the answer is the same as before.

 

You probably use this property without knowing that you are using it. When a group (let’s say 5 of you) order food, and order the same thing (let’s say you each order a hamburger for $3 each and a coke for $1 each), you can compute the bill (without tax) in two ways. You can figure out how much each of you needs to pay and multiply the sum times the number of you. So, you each pay (3 + 1) and then multiply times 5. That’s 5(3 + 1) = 5(4) = 20. Or, you can figure out how much the 5 hamburgers will cost and the 5 cokes and then find the total. That’s 5(3) + 5(1) = 15 + 5 = 20. Either way, the answer is the same, $20.

 

The two methods are represented by the equations below. On the left side, we add 10 and 2, and then multiply by 3. The expression is rewritten using the distributive property on the right side, where we distribute the 3, then multiply each by 3 and add the results. Notice that the result is the same in each case.

Bella is making button barrettes. She allows each of her friends to reach into er bag of buttons and randomly pick a color.
slava [35]

Answer:

Total no. of buttons = 300 + 700 + 1000

+ 500 = 2500

Possibility for a person to pick a pink button = 300/2500 = (3/25)%

Amount of pink buttons she can expect her friends to pick = 50(3/25) = 6

She can expect to make 6 pink barrettes

Compute x/y if
Marysya12 [62]

Let first consider the equations one by one and will be solving one by one ;

{:\implies \quad \sf x+\dfrac{1}{y}=4}

Multiplying both sides by y will lead ;

{:\implies \quad \sf xy+1=4y}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\sf xy=4y-1\quad \cdots \cdots(i)}}

Now, consider the second equation which is ;

{:\implies \quad \sf y+\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac14}

Multiplying both sides by x will yield

{:\implies \quad \sf xy+1=\dfrac{x}{4}}

{:\implies \quad \sf xy=\dfrac{x}{4}-1}

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\sf xy=\dfrac{x-4}{4}\quad \cdots \cdots(ii)}}

As LHS of both equations (i) and (ii) are same, so equating both will yield;

{:\implies \quad \sf 4y-1=\dfrac{x-4}{4}}

Multiplying both sides by 4 will yield

{:\implies \quad \sf 16y-4=x-4}

{:\implies \quad \sf 16y=x}

Dividing both sides by y will yield :

{:\implies \quad \boxed{\bf{\dfrac{x}{y}=16}}}

<em>Hence, the required answer is 16</em>

Helppp meeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Leni [432]

Measuring the figure with a ruler, length = 2 inch and width = 1.5 inch

It is given that 1/2 inch = 4 feet

1 inch = 4*2 = 8 feet

Area of rectangle = length * width

Length = 2*8 =  16 feet

Width = 1.5*8 =  12 feet

Area of Quintoe's bedroom = 16 feet * 12 feet = 192 feet^2

Hence option C is correct.

Use suitable identities to find the following products (x+4)(x+10)​
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

x^2 + 14x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we gonna use the identity -

(x+a)(x+b) = x^2+(a+b)x + ab

So  using the identity here,

(x+4)(x+10) \\=> x^2 +(4+10)x+4*10\\=>x^2+14x+40
