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

Find the area of the triangle. 16 in. 25 in.

Alja [10]

Answer:

The area of the triangle with the given measurements is 200 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we will need to know the formula for finding the area of a triangle.

A = 1/2(bh)

Now, let's plug in these numbers so we can find the area.

A = 1/2(bh)

A = 1/2(16*25)

A = 1/2(400)

A = 200 in.²

Find the slope of the line through points (4, 6) and (-6,2).

Pie

Answer: Slope = 2/5

Concept:

Here, we need to know how to find the slope.

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a clearer version of the formula

Solve:

Given information

(x₁, y₁) = (-6, 2)

(x₂, y₂) = (4, 6)

Given formula

Slope = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Substitute values into the formula

Slope = (6 - 2) / (4 - (-6))

Simplify values in the parentheses

REMEMBER to change [+, -] signs when there is a [-] sign in front

Slope = 4 / (4 + 6)

Slope = 4 / 10

Divide both numerator and denominator by 2 to get the simplest form

Slope = (4 ÷ 2) / (10 ÷ 2)

Slope = 2/5

Hope this helps!! :)
