Given:
t A = 2.4 h
t B = 4 h
v A = 22 + v B

Solution:
Distance A and distance B is the same, distance could be defined using formula d = v × t
d A = d B
(v A × t A) = (v B × t B)

plug in the numbers
v A × 2.4 = v B × 4
(22 + vB) × 2.4 = 4 vB

remove the parenthesis using distributive property
(22 × 2.4) + (2.4 × vB) = 4vB
52.8 + 2.4vB = 4vB
add like terms
52.8 = 4vB - 2.4vB
52.8 = 1.6vB
52.8/1.6 = vB
vB = 33
the speed of car B is 33 mph

vA = 22 + vB
vA = 22 + 33
vA = 55
the speed of car A is 55 mph

X + y = 120000
0.15x - 0.10y = 5500

Multiply both sides of bottom by 100 to remove decimals

x + y = 120000
15x - 10y = 550000

Multiply both sides of top by 10

10x + 10y = 1200000
15x - 10y = 550000

Add the two

25x = 1750000
x = 70000
He paid $70,000 for the property that made a profit, and paid $50,000 for the property that lost value.

Use the associative law of multiplication to write an equivalent expression. <br> 9[m(6+n)]
jek_recluse [69]
The associative law states that it doesn't matter how we group numbers when we add and/or multiply. So we could rearrange the brackets and parentheses to get the equivalent equation:
9m(6+n)

Both equations total:
54m+9mn 
(I applied the distributive property to solve it).
