Answer:
4x -12
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question answers itself: you use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.
4(x -3) = 4(x) +4(-3) = 4x -12

Answer:
(x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Many graphing calculators can solve matrix equations handily. Here, we use a combination of methods.
Use the last equation to write an expression for z.
z = 4 -x +4y
Substitute this into the second equation:
y -4(4 -x +4y) = -13
y -16 +4x -16y = -13
4x -15y -3 = 0
In genera form, the first equation can be written as ...
3x +y +10 = 0
Now, the solution to these two equations can be found to be ...
x = (-15(10) -1(-3))/(4(1) -3(-15)) = (-150 +3)/(4+45) = -3 . . . using "Cramer's rule"
y = -(10 +3x) = -(10 -9) = -1 . . . . from the first equation
z = 4 -(-3) +4(-1) = 3 . . . . . . . . from our equation for z
The solution to the system is (x, y, z) = (-3, -1, 3).

To calculate the mean absolute deviation, you first must find the mean of the data and then find the difference between each piece of data and the mean.
Please see the attached picture for the work.
The mean absolute deviation is approximately 1.48.
This means that the numbers of candies in the 10 bags are all very close to one another. There is not much variation.
