Answer:

No, modern train cannot travel on old railroad.

Step-by-step explanation:

In rail transport, track gauge is the spacing of the rails on a railway track and is measured between the inner faces of the load-bearing rails.

Most of the modern train are based on broad gauge. The separation in broad gauge is about 5 ft and 6 inches and in the standard gauge the separation between the tracks is 4 ft and 8\frac{1}{2} inches. So for the modern train it is not possible to travel on the tracks whose separation is no more than 4.5 feet.

Which equation demonstrates the distributive property?
Art [367]

The correct option of your question is D

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the sum we need to understand the distributive property

a×(b+c) = a×b + a×c

Here,

Option D is given as

RHS = 5(3+8) [ a=5, b=3 and c=8]

=15 + 40

= LHS

It satisfies the distributive property.

You can cross check the property with the other options.

D is the correct option.

Write as a product of 2 binomials and a monomial (factor out as much as possible from each binomial):
gayaneshka [121]

(14x+21y)(6ab-3a) = 3a(2b - 1)(14x + 21y)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

(14x+21y)(6ab-3a)

We have to factor out terms and write as a product of 2 binomials and monomial

A monomial is a mathematical expression with only one term, while a binomial is a mathematical expression with two terms.

From given expression,

(14x+21y)(6ab-3a) = (14x + 21y)(3 \times 2ab -3a)

3 and a are common factors in second bracket

(14x+21y)(6ab-3a) = 3a(2b - 1)(14x + 21y)

Hence, the product of two binomial is written in two binomial and a monomial
