Distributive property example: A(B + C) = AB + AC

Simplify the equation:

3(x + 4) = 36

(3 * x) + (3 * 4) = 36

3x + 12 = 36

Now, solve for x:

3x + 12 - 12 = 36 - 12

3x = 24

3x/3 = 24/3

x = 8

Best of Luck!

Answer:

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+4)=36

Divide each side by 3

3/3 (x+4)=36/3

x+4 = 12

Subtract 4 from each side

x+4-4 = 12-4

x = 8

5(a - 2b) - 3(a - 2b) |use distributive property: a(b - c) = ab - ac

= 5a - 10b - 3a + 6b

= (5a - 3a) + (-10b + 6b)

= 2a - 4b

The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450450 kilograms. The average weight of 33 llamas is 190190 kilograms mor

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Okapi 290 kg

Llama 160 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let weight of each llama be $l$

Let weight of each okapi be $o$

Given, combined weight of 1 okapi and 1 llama is 450, we can write:

$l+o=450$

Also, average weight of 3 llama is 190 more than the average weight of 1 okapi, thus we can write:

$3l-190=o$

Now, substituting 2nd equation into 1st equation, we can solve for weight of 1 llama:

$l+o=450\\l+(3l-190)=450\\l+3l-190=450\\4l=450+190\\4l=640\\l=\frac{640}{4}=160$

Each llama weights 160 kg, now using this and plugging into 2nd equation, we get weight of 1 okapi to be:

$o=3l-190\\o=3(160)-190\\o=290$

Each okapi weigh 290 kg
