John is correct. The substitution property is being used. The x is being substituted for the value 9 (aka x is replaced with 9). Keep in mind that x is simply a placeholder for a number, in this case 9. 

Think of "substitution" as in a sports game where one player replaces another. Or you can think of a substitute teacher where someone else temporarily replaces your teacher for the day. Those are two ways to help remember the term.

The distributive property is not being used here since it is a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. For example, 2*(3+5) = 2*3+2*5

The students at Mill Middle School held a class
sleet_krkn [62]

Total no.of votes = 21+29=50

No. of votes Megan received = 20

No.of votes Alyssa received = 29

Let x% be the percentage of votes Alyssa received.

Which means :

= x \: \% \: of \: 50 = 29

=  \frac{x}{100} \times 50 = 29

=  \frac{50x}{100}  = 29

= 50x = 29 \times 100

= 50x = 2900

= x =  \frac{2900}{50}

= \bold{x = 58\%}

Therefore, Alyssa received <u>58%</u> of the total votes.

Evaluate................
trasher [3.6K]

Step-by-step answer:

Given:

k(x)=8x+7q...........................(1)

Evaluate: k(2q^2+3q) .......(2)

Solution:

From (1)

k(x) = 8x+7q

Substitute x=2q^2+3q into (1)

k(2q^2+3q)

= 8(2q^2+3q) + 7q

= 16q^2 + 24q + 7q

= 16q^2 + 31q
