For this case we have that by definition, the distributive property of multiplication states that:

$a (b + c) = ab + ac$

So, if we have the following expression:

$7 (8 + 2) = 7 * 8 + 7 * 2$

Then, the example given is a case of distributive property of multiplication.

Answer:

Distributive

Step-by-step explanation:

In any problem with a form of A(b+c) you are distributing the A to both b and c

As you can see in your example, you are distributing the 7 to both the 8 and the two

If you were to solve this problem the final answer would be 70

The property is Distributive

The sides of a triangle have lengths of x, x + 5, and 25. If the longest side is 25, which of the following values of x would ma

Amiraneli [1.4K]

In a right angle, the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides is equal to the square of the longest side.
Here, the longest side is 25, the shorter sides are x and x+5.

$x^2+(x+5)^2=25^2 \\
x^2+x^2+10x+25=625 \\
2x^2+10x+25=625 \ \ \ |-625 \\
2x^2+10x-600=0 \ \ \ |\div 2 \\
x^2+5x-300=0 \\
x^2+20x-15x-300=0 \\
x(x+20)-15(x+20)=0 \\
(x-15)(x+20)=0 \\
x-15=0 \ \lor \ x+20=0 \\
x=15 \ \lor \ x=-20
$

The length of a side must be a positive number, so x=15.
The answer is C.
