Answer:

The Zero Product Property states that if ab = 0, then either a = 0 or b = 0, or both a and b are 0. When the product of factors equals zero, one or more of the factors must also equal zero. Once the polynomial is factored, set each factor equal to zero and solve them separately.

Hey there!

Set up an equation. This would be 4+0.5x=12. You have to get x by itself, so subtract 4 on each side. You get 0.5x=8. Divide by 0.5 on each side to get x=16. Heidi purchased 16 tickets.

Explain why the following statement are equivalent 4(x+y)=4x+4y

LekaFEV [45]

It is equivalent because of the distributive property. If you multiply 4 by x and y, you get 4x and 4y.

4x + 4y = 4x + 4y

<span>Let the distance a string will stretch be l, and the weight attached to the string be w, then l = kw. 9 = 100k => k = 9/100. l = 9/100 w. Therefore, when a weight of 90 pounds is attached, l = 9 / 100 x 90 = 810 / 100 = 8.1 inches.Hope I helped! :) Cheers!I hope that I could help :) sometines those questions are tricky.
