L: 1750, M:1750-480=1270
Lisa gave some stamps to Mark so Lisa now has 1750-x and Mark has 1270+x. Mark also has 3 times as many as Lisa now: (1750-x)*3=1270+x
5250-3*x=1270+x
4*x=3980, x=3980/4, x=995
So Lisa gave 995 stamps to Mark.
At first Mark had 1270 stamps. Lisa now has 1750-995=755 stamps.

First, let's figure out what amount of stamps Mark originally had.

1750 - 480 = 1270

Mark originally had 1270 stamps.

Now, we have to figure out how many stamps Lisa has.

s = stamps

1270 + s = (1750 - s)3
1270 + s = 5250 - 3s
Add 3s to both sides.
1270 + 4s = 5250
Subtract 1270 from both sides.
4s = 3980
Divide both sides by 4.
s = 995

Now, subtract 995 from 1750.

1750 - 995 = 755

Lisa now has 755 stamps.

Use distribute property and simplify<br> Help me please​

Answer:

104

155

180

Step-by-step explanation:

an easy way is to solve what is in the parenthesis then multiply by the outside number

but if you need to use the distributive property:

1. 4 x (20 - -6)

(4 x 20) - (4 x -6) = 80 - -24 = 80 + 24 = 104

2. -5 x (24 - -7)

(-5 x 24) - (-5 x -7) = -120 - 35 = 155

3. 12 x (-30 + 45)

(12 x -30) + (12 x 45) = -360 + 540 = 180
