(x+2y)(x-5y)
do foil method:
x^2-5xy+2xy-10y^2
simplify x^2-3xy-10y^2,
so d is correct.

Step 1) Distributive property
Step 2) Distributive property
Step 3) Commutative property of multiplication
Step 4) Combine like terms

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The distributive property is the rule
a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c

we can make it a bit more complicated if we replace 'a' with some other expression, say x+y.

So
a*(b+c) = a*b + a*c
turns into
(x+y)*(b+c) = (x+y)*b + (x+y)*c
and then we can use the distributive property again to further distribute the outer letters into each parenthesis grouping
(x+y)*(b+c) = (x+y)*b + (x+y)*c
(x+y)*(b+c) = x*b+y*b + x*c+y*c

This is what the FOIL rule is all about. Though the FOIL rule is limited compared to what the distributive property can do. FOIL only applies to multiplication of two binomials. The distributive property can be applied to multiplying any terms.

The commutative property of multiplication is the idea that you can multiply any two numbers in any order you want
example: 2*3 = 6 and 3*2 = 6
In general: x*y = y*x

1. 8/9 ÷ 4/9 is done by inverting the divisor (4/9) and then multiplying:

(8/9)(9/4) = 8/4 = 2 (answer)

2. 1/3 ÷ 6 is done similarly: (1/3)(1/6) = 1/18 (answer)

3. 4 ÷ 1/5 = 4 * 5 = 20 (answer)

4. 7 1/2 ÷ 1/4 = (15/2)(4/1) = 30 (answer)

I can't understand this after "happening is" but let's do it unaided.

The number of ways to draw a boy first is 6.

Given that, the number of ways to draw a girl next is 10.

That's out of a total of 16 x 15 length two permutations of 16 things

$p = \dfrac{6 \times 10}{16(15)} = 1/4$

Gracie has 5 quarters 4 nickels and 1 penny in her pocket. She selects a coin at random. What is the probability of selecting a

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

5+4+1 = 10. If you have 4 nickels out of 10 coins, it means there is a 4/10 chance of selecting one, but to simplify, 2 is the greatest common factor, so you would divide each number.

4/2 = 2.

10/2 = 5.

The answer is 2/5.
