Answer:
Rewrite the expression 10(15 – 6) using the distributive property of subtraction.
A) 10(6) – 10(15)
B) 10(9)
C) 10(6 –15)
D) 10(15) – 10(6)
Show/Hide Answer
A) 10(6) – 10(15)
Incorrect. Here a greater number would be subtracted from a lesser number, and the answer would not be a whole number. The correct answer is 10(15) – 10(6).
B) 10(9)
Incorrect. The numbers in parentheses were subtracted before the number 10 could be distributed. The correct answer is 10(15) – 10(6).
C) 10(6 –15)
Incorrect. You probably used the commutative law instead of the distributive property. The correct answer is 10(15) – 10(6).
D) 10(15) – 10(6)
Correct. The 10 is correctly distributed so that it is used to multiply the 15 and the 6 separately.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide both sides by -2.
x= - 8/2
Simplify - 8/2 to -4.
Answer: (x−2)(x−2)
The middle number is -4 and the last number is 4.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -4
Multiply together to get 4
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -2 and -2:
-2+-2 = -4
-2*-2 = 4
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -2 and -2 to get...
(x-2)(x-2)
Answer:
(x−2)(x−2)
so the answer is D.
Answer:
16.
Hope this helps, have a great day/night!
