The distributive property is a simplification rule that does not change the value of an expression. Nothing need be done to the other side of the equation.
q = -4(3+x)
q = -4*3 -4*x . . . . . the -4 is distributed. The right side has not changed value.
Answer:
i think 6 not sure tho sorry if its worng
we start by opening the brackets so it will be -25 plus 15 v is equals to 115. negative times a negative is a positive so -5 times -3 we we have gotten positive 15v there I hope you understood so our new equation is -25 + 15v is equals to 115 collect the like terms 15v is equals to 115 + 25 15 v is equals to 140 divide both sides by 15 so v is equals to 9 and 1/3
U would factor by grouping and get x^2(x-2) + 3(x-2) and then get (x^2 +3) (x-2)
