Answer:
distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
The distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum
The area of what? if those are the dimensions of a triangle, you would do base times height divided by 2.
B. 33.5 is your answer
First you want to add 12+4 because it is in parentheses
8.5+16x2-7
Then you multiply 16 by 2
8.5+32-7
Then you add 8.5 to 32
40.5-7
Then you subtract 7 from 40.5 giving you your answer
33.5
C. The first is a solution, but the second is not.
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (2,-9)
substitute the letters:
5(2) - (-9/3) = 13
10 - (-3) = 13 : note that deducting a number with a negative sign turns both sign as positive.
10 + 3 = 13 ;
13 = 13
5x - y/3 = 13 ; (3,-6)
5(3) - (-6/3) = 13
15 - (-2) = 13
15 + 2 = 13
17 = 13 not equal. not a solution
