Hello!

The problem has asked that we simplify the given expression using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac

In this case, we’ll use the second of the two formulas listed above. Let’s begin by inserting any known values given in the original problem:

a(b – c) = ab – ac
5(2x – 5) = 5(2x) – 5(5)

Now simplify the right side of the equation:

5(2x) – 5(5) = 10x – 25

We have now proven that 5(2x – 5) is equal to 10x – 25. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

The answer is 4.2 kilograms of dog food

Step-by-step explanation:

it says that ray feeds his dog 0.12 kilogram of food each day

he needs for 1 month

1 month = 31 days or 30 days

since 1 day food is 0.12 kilograms you'll have to multiply 0.12 with 1 month

i.e; 0.12*31 or 0.12*30

0.12*31=3.72 and 0.12*30=3.6

since we don't have an option we'll have to choose something bigger than this

therefore, the answer is 4.2

ABCD is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, as shown below:

german

Answer:

A. (x + 16) + (6x − 4) = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Inscribed quadrilateral has opposite angles supplementary.

So

m∠A + m∠C = 180°

m∠B + m∠D = 180°.

Since

m∠A = x + 16,
m∠B = x,
m∠C = 6x - 4,
m∠D = 2x + 16

we can use either pair of angle measures to work out the value of x and then find the value of each angle.

We can verify the first option is the only correct one.

m∠A + m∠C = 180°
(x + 16) + (6x − 4) = 180
