Answer:

Hi there!

Your answer is two times.

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property is multiplying the coefficient in front of parentheses into the parentheses. You have two sets of parentheses both with a coefficient that needs to be distributed.

The first time you use it is on 2(x+5), distributing the 2.

The second time you use it is on the -3(2x+7), distributing the -3

Please let me know if you have questions :)

11. Mis the midpoint of QR. Q is at (-8, 2) and M is at (4, -3). Find the coordinates of the endpoint R.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

R(16,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

if (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are coordinates of two points and (x,y) the coordinate of midpoint.

then x=(x1+x2)/2

and y=(y1+y2)/2

let coordinates of R are (x,y)

4=(-8+x)/2

8=-8+x

x=8+8=16

-3=(2+y)/2

-6=2+y

y=-6-2=-8

so R is (16,-8)

What is the coefficient of 4(3)(2)Q

inysia [295]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x 3 = 12

12 x 2= 24

Coefficient is the number infront of the varible being multiplied. In this case 24 is the coefficient, and Q is the variable.
