Answer: 3. Distributive
Step-by-step explanation:
Distributive property of multiplication over addition is the only property that is require to multiply an expression to the other expression with two or more than two terms.
For example: a (b+c)= a b+ac , where a,b,c can be any expression.
Given expression: -5(x-3) = -5x +15 , which illustrates the distributive property of multiplication over addition.
Hence, the correct option is 3. Distributive.
The rest of properties cannot work for multiplication over addition as they are used for one operation.
Hello, there!
<span>Ten times a number is sixteen more than twice the number. Find the number.
Answer: 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
</span>
First, let's write the equation.
Ten times a number -- 10x
16 more -- 10x - 16
Twice the number -- 2x
10x - 16 = 2x or 10x = 2x + 16
Let's use the first one: 10x - 16 = 2x
First, let's isolate the x to one side.
10x - 16 = 2x
-10x -10x
-16 = -8x
Now, let's multiply each side by -1 to make them positive
-16 = -8x
*-1 *-1
16 = 8x
Finally, let's divide each side by 8
16 = 8x
---- ----
8 8
Our answer is 2 = x
This means that the number is 2.
I hope I helped!
