I am not positive for the factoring of each expression but for the distributive property you do 8 TIMES x then 8 times 7 so you would get blank plus blank and so on for the next ones.
The answer is B.
(the equation to solve this with is: a^2 + b^2 = c^2)
x stands for a variable, in which the variable would be replaced by a number(s) that would make the equation true.
Hope this helps
In this case, 7 is being added to the odometer which already reads 78. If you add 7 to 78, you get 85. Meaning y = 85!
Let Marc's age be x. If Jeanine is twice as old as Marc, then her age will be 2x. If their ages added together are 24, then you can create the following equation:
2x + x = 24
3x = 24
x = 8
Remember that x is Marc's age. So if Marc is 8, and Jeanine is twice as old, she will be 16.
