Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number on the outside.
-3(-7)=21
-3(3z)=-9z
Therefore, our expression is 21-9z.
Now you know how to use the distributive property! Have a wonderful day! :D
12) 12, 8
12 - 8 = 4
12 + 8 = 20
Answer: 4 < x <span>< 20
13) 11, 3
11 - 3 = 8
11 + 3 = 14
Answer: 8 </span>< x <span>< 14
Hope this helps :)</span>
(I crossed simplify)
Next cross multiply;
3b = 1
b = 1/3
To check if the statement is true just substitute the value of b in the equation;
3b = 1
3(1/3) = 1
1 = 1
and 7 each time answer Is 78
