Answer:

The correct answer option is a. x = -64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is used to multiply a single term with two or more terms inside the brackets or you can say the equations which are in the form a (b + c).

Its main purpose is to expand the terms by first multiplying each term inside the bracket with the term outside the term and then adding the like terms together.

Solving <em>-19 = 5(x + 9)</em><em> </em>using distributive property, we get:

-19 = 5x + 45

-19 - 45 = 5x

5x = -64

Therefore, x = -\frac{64}{5}

For Answer A, it is 3/4 because there are 4 donuts in total and you have 3 glazed and 1 chocolate, so it will be 3 over 4.
For Answer B, it is 75% because 3 over 4 is 0.75 and if you put it in percentage, then it will be 75%.

Bruno noticed today’s gasoline price at the local convenience store was advertised as $3.40 per gallon. This price is 15% above
Lisa [10]

Answer:

Last year’s price = $2.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Current price of gasoline = $3.40

Higher rate = 15%

Find:

Last year’s price

Computation:

Last year’s price = Current price of gasoline [100 / (100 + 15)]

Last year’s price = Current price of gasoline [100 / (115)]

Last year’s price = $3.40 [100 / (115)]

Last year’s price = 2.95652

Last year’s price = $2.96
