Answer:
4y-12
Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply a sum (or difference) by a factor, each summand (or minuend and subtrahend) is multiplied by this factor and the resulting products are added (or subtracted).
If the operation outside the parentheses (in this case, the multiplication) is commutative, then left-distributivity implies right-distributivity and vice versa, and one talks simply of distributivity.
8(p-2) = 32
8p - 16 = 32
+16 on each side
8p= 48
Divide by 8 on each side
P= 6
There are 153 people who each ate 1/4 pounds. Therefore, the amount of watermelon eaten is 153/4 pounds.
