Answer:

D. a is equal to  \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that segment PQ is 8 units, so that its midpoint M is at 4 units to both P and Q.

Given that X is the midpoint of PM, this implies that X is at 2 units to both P and M.

Then;

PX = aPQ

⇒   = a x 8

      = 8a

Therefore, a must be equal to \frac{1}{4}, so that;

PX = 8a

     = 8 x  \frac{1}{4}

     = 2 units

Thus, a is equal to  \frac{1}{4} is the correct option.

Which shows the proper use of the distributive property
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

-2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

By using the distributive property, you start by multiplying -2 and 6x which gets you -12x. You then multiply -2 and -y (in other words -y = -1y) so, -2* -y would get you 2 as a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. So, adding them together would get your final answer: -2 (6x - y) = -12x + 2y
