What's the distributive property when solving the equation 7(x+5)-x=42

1 answer:

7 0

When you are doing distributive property, it can only happen if a number or exponent is before the bracket. From this equation, you can solve for x like so:

7(x+5)-x=42

7x+35-x=42 -Using distributive property (Multiplication)

6x=7 -Collecting like terms.

x= 7/6 -The answer.

Therefore x would equate to 7/6.

Mrs Wong bought a rice cooker for $126 after a discount of 30%.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

(a) $180

(b) 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) $126 = 30% of x; x is the total

so from this, you get an equation: 126 = 0.3x

solve the equation: x = 180; so the amount before

discount is $180

(b) You know the price of discount for the rice cooker is

180-126 which is $54

Then you subtract 54 from 64 to get the discount amount for the toaster

10/40 is 1/4 or 25%
