Answer:  The correct equation is (d). 15 + 40 = 5(3 + 8).

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct equation from the options that demonstrates the distributive property.

<u>DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY: </u>  For any three real numbers a, b and c, the distributive property can be written as

(i) a(b + c) = ab + ac,

(ii) (a + b)c = ac + bc.

Out of the given for equations, only equation (d) gives the distribution of 5 over the addition of 3 and 8.

We have, according to the distributive property,

5(3 + 8) = 5 × 3 + 5 × 8 = 15 + 40.

Thus, the correct option is (d).

Alecsey [184]
1.68 mm per year for 1.5 years could be rewritten as 
(2.00-0.32) mm per year for 1.5 yrs.

Multiply:  (1.5 yrs)(2.00-0.32)(mm/yr) = 3 mm + 0.48 mm = 3.48 mm

This approach makes use of the distributive property of multiplication.

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 and passes through point (-3,-1)
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

y = -2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

m = slope

(-3,-1) = (x,y)

<em>Plus in the coordinates</em>

-1 = -2/3(-3) + b

<em>negative times negative = positive</em>

-2/3 * -3 = 2

-1 = 2 +b

<em>Use inverse operations</em>

-2 --2

-3 = b

y = -2/3x - 3

Solve -2(n + 5) + 6n = 14 for n.
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

n=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given -> -2(n+5)+6n=14

Distributive Property -> -2n-10+6n=14

Combine like terms -> 4n-10=14

Add 10 to both sides -> 4n=24

Divide both sides by 4 -> n=6

So n=6
