The equivalent equation after applying distributive property will be:

(2*x) - (2*5) = 56 + (6*x) - (6*5)

Further explanation:

Distributive property states that the number is distributed to the sum or difference it is being multiplied to i.e.

a(b+c) = a*b + a*c

So the given equation is:

2(x - 5) = 56 + 6(x - 5)

2 will be distributed to x-5 and 6 will be distributed to x-5

The equivalent equation will be:

(2*x) - (2*5) = 56 + (6*x) - (6*5)\\Simplifying\\2x-10 = 56+6x-30\\2x-6x = 56-30+10\\-4x = 36\\x=-9

If Fun Reads Bookstore has a ready club with a $40 fee and charges $5 per book and Cool Covers Bookstores club charges $100 fee
choli [55]

Answer:

You have to buy more than 20 books to make Cool Cover Bookstore club a better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Fee charged by Fun Reads Bookstore = $40

Charges per book = $5

Let x be the number of books.

A(x) = 5x+40

Fee charged by Cool Covers Bookstore = $100

Charges per book = $2

B(x) = 2x+100

For making Cool Cover Bookstores club a better deal,

B(x) > A(x)

2x+100 > 5x+40

2x-5x > 40-100

-3x > -60

Dividing both sides by -3

\frac{-3x}{-3}>\frac{-60}{-3}\\x>20

Hence,

You have to buy more than 20 books to make Cool Cover Bookstore club a better deal.
