Answer:
The distributive property allows you multiply a sum in parenthesis by multiplying each addend separately, then add the products.
Step-by-step explanation:
How to use the distributive law example.
2(x+4) = 16
To use the distributive law in this example multiply 3 by all terms in the parenthesis. Multiply 2 and x, then 2 and 4 to open the parenthesis.
2x+8=16
That is how you use the distributive law.
To continue solving, subtract 8 from both sides.
2x+8-8=16-8
2x=8
Divide 2 from both sides.
2x/2=8/2
x=4

Answer:
- large: 18.5 kg
- small: 15.75 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b and s represent the weights of the big and small boxes, respectively. Then the two delivered weights can be summarized as ...
5b +6s = 187
3b +2s = 87
We can eliminate the "s" variable by subtracting the first equation from 3 times the second:
3(3b +2s) -(5b +6s) = 3(87) -(187)
4b = 74 . . . . . collect terms
b = 18.5 . . . . . divide by 4
Using this value in the second equation, we find ...
3(18.5) +2s = 87
2s = 31.5 . . . . . . . . subtract 55.5
s = 15.75 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The large box weighs 18.5 kg; the small box weighs 15.75 kg.
Hello,
100a²-49b²=(10a)²-(7b)²=(10a-7b)(10a+7b)
===================================
So the equation of the red graph is already given to us:
. I assume you meant the blue graph?
We can use the vertex form:
, where
is the vertex. (We can ignore
because
is 1 for this graph.) Remember that the vertex is the maximum or minimum of a parabola and the point that the line of symmetry passes through. For f(x) the vertex is (0,0).
The vertex for
is at
on the coordinate plane. (4 left, 2 down)
Plug into the vertex form:

The double negative becomes a positive, and then you're done:
