How do you use distributive property when simplifying the following?

Hello there!

The Distributive Property allows us to multiply any number/variable outside of the parenthesis by all inside numbers/variables within the parenthesis.

For example;

2(3 + 4)
"2" is our outside number.
"3" and "4" are our inside numbers.
Multiple our outside number by all inside numbers.
2(3) + 2(4)
6 + 8
14.

This is how the Distributive Property works.

Now, let's answer our questions doing this.

#1.)
7(3f + 6)
7(3f) + 7(6)
21f + 42 -- This is your simplified expression for (#1.)

#2.) 
4(9 - 2f)
4(9) + 4(-2f)
36 - 8f -- This is your simplified expression for (#2.)

#3.)

5(8 - f)
5(8) + 5(f)
40 + 5f -- This is your simplified expression for (#3.)

I hope this helps!

We have two fractions, 3/4 and 7/6 , and we want to rewrite them so that they have a common denominator (and whole number numera
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

12,24 etc

Step-by-step explanation:

4 and 6 both go into 12 evenly

4*3 = 12

6*2 = 12

12 is the least common denominator

We could also use 24

4*6 = 24

It is a common denominator, but not the least common denominator

We can use any multiple of 12

What is the slope of these two equations?
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

8. 0

9. undefined

Step-by-step explanation:

8. 0

> because the y variable is the same for all x-values, this is a horizontal line. Horizontal lines have a slope of 0.

  > <em>Thinking of slope as rise over run: we will always rise 0, and run __ from any two points--0 divided by any number is always 0</em>

9. undefined

> because the x variable is always the same, no matter what y variable we graph, we will have the same outcome. So, this would look like a straight line, which have an undefined slope.

   > <em>If you think of a slope as rise / run; if you go from any two points, there will be a 0 in the denominator--which is undefined</em>

<em />

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
