Answer:

$5x - 30$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify

$5(x - 6)$

We use the distributive property of real numbers which says that:

$a(b + c) = ab + ac$

We apply the distributive property to get;

$5(x - 6) = 5 \times x - 5 \times 6$

This implies that:

$5(x - 6) = 5 x - 30$

Therefore the correct answer is 5x-30

Rina is 6x + 3:8 feet tall and Ryan is 5x + 1/8 feet tall. How much taller is Rina than Ryan?

Dimas [21]

Answer: Rina is $x+\dfrac{1}{4}$ feet taller than Ryan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the height of Rina = $6x+\dfrac{3}{8}$ feet

The height of Ryan = $5x+\dfrac{1}{8}$ feet

To find : How much taller is Rina than Ryan?

Clue : Rina is taller than Ryan.

For that , we need to check the difference of the height between Ryan and Rina

i.e. (height of Rina) - (height of Ryan)

$=6x+\dfrac{3}{8}-(5x+\dfrac{1}{8})\\\\=6x+\dfrac{3}{8}-5x-\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=x+\dfrac{3-1}{8}\\\\=x+\dfrac{2}{8}\\\\=x+\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, Rina is $x+\dfrac{1}{4}$ feet taller than Ryan.
