Use the Distributive Property and simplify the expression. 6+4(3x – 2)+5

1 answer:

8 0

First, we need to use the distributive property to simplify the expression. So, that means we have to multiply the 4 by all of the integers and variables inside the parentheses.

If done correctly, your expression should be 6+12x-8+5

Next, we should combine all of the constant terms (just numbers without variables), also known as combining like terms.

If done correctly, your expression should be 12x+3.

This matches answer B. 12x+3

Winnie can walk 2 miles in 30 minutes. How many miles can she walk in 2 hours? (Remember 1hr = 60 min) A. 2 B. 4 C. 6 D. 8

Sati [7]

The answer is D-8.

If Winnie walks 2 miles in 30 minutes, 30 minutes is half an hour so for 1 hour which is 60 minutes, she can walk 4 miles, 90 minutes she can walk 6 and for 120 minutes which is 2 hours she can walk 8.

So all I did was multiply 2 by 4 and got 8. The number 4 came from the thought that 2 hours have 4 sets of 30 minutes

Answer:

5x + 32 < 50

Step-by-step explanation:

On a particular airline, bags checked in must weigh less than 50 pounds. Betty packed 32 pounds of clothes and five gifts that weigh the same amount.

If each gift weighs w pounds, then the weight of five gifts will be 5w pounds and an additional 32 pounds of clothes will make it total (32 + 5w) pounds.

Now, this total weight has to be less than 50 pounds.

Therefore, the inequality equation that can be used to find the possible weight of each gift, w is
