1/6(18x - 24)

To expand this expression, you must use the distributive property to multiply everything inside the parentheses by 1/6. So your expression should look like this:

(1/6 * 18x) - (1/6 * 24)

Now multiply 18x and 24 by 1/6 and rewrite your expression. Your expression should look like:

(3x) - (4)

After applying the distributive property, you're finished. You've expanded your expression, so your answer to this question would be 3x - 4.

Ganezh [65]

Given are three married couples.

So, let us assume there are 3 men and 3 women

They are sitting in a row of 6 empty seats

There is a definite order constraint that each woman will sit left to her husband. The first woman gets 3 options to choose from 3 available seats. The second woman has two options left as already one seat is filled by the first woman. The last woman has one option left. So, it is $3*2*1$

So, number of ways is 3! = $3*2*1$ = 6 ways.

Tony separates a number of paintbrushes, x, into 3 equally sized groups. He claims that this is the same as making a group 1/3 t

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Size of each group = $\frac{x}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of paint brushes = x

Since each the three groups are equally sized, to get the number of paintbrushes in a group, we will have to divide the total number of paint brushes by 3

∴ We have, number of paint brushes in a group = $\frac{Total number of paintbrushes}{3}\\$
