Not sure what algebra tiles are
not sure how to absolutely prove
I can prove it works at least most of the time by subsitute ing number for x
remember that 0,1,2 have special properties and are not very good for subsituting so
try 4
4+8(4)=4(2(4)+1)
true or false?
4+8(4)=4(2(4)+1)
multipily
4+32=4(8+1)
36=4(9)
36=36
this is treu at least for the number 4
another way is to believe in the distributive property where
a(b+c)=ab+ac so then
4(2x+1)=4(2x)+4(1)=8x+4=4+8x
C. $122.10
20 first hour
20+0.1*20 = 22 second hour
22+0.1*22 = 24.2 third hour
24.2+0.1*24.2 = 26.62 fourth hour
26.62+0.1*26.62 = 29.282 fifth hour
Total=$122.10
