Yes the distributive property is used to expand expressions, but it is also used to make it simpler.
For an example

3(x+4) + 3(y-8)
This is the same thing as
3x + 12 + 3y -8

Parallel lines e and f are cut by transversal b what is the value of x?
NikAS [45]

Answer: 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Both lines are being cut by the same transversal so to solve for x, make both equations equal to each other

2x+10 = 3x-15

To isolate x, do the inverse operations (for any side chosen)

Do the inverse operations to move -15 and isolate 3x

Add 15 to 10 (10+15=25)

You now have 2x+25=3x

Now, do the same to combine the x values together

25=3x-2x

You now have 25=1x

Divide by 1 on both sides

25=x

o-na [289]

Answer:

1/16 of the class are left handed boys but we do not know the amount of left handed girls so we cannot be sure.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 * 1/8 = 1/16

there is still no way to be sure of how many girls are left handed so you should probably make a note by the problem so the mistake on the test will be realized

Denise bought a box of 560 pieces of candy.4/5 of the pieces of the candy were fruity and 1/4 of the remaining pieces of candy w
Liula [17]

Answer:

<em>Number of Other flavor candy is 84.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

A total of 560 pieces of candy are there in the box.

\frac{4}{5} of the pieces are fruity.

Number of Fruity pieces:

\dfrac{4}{5} \times 560\\\Rightarrow 4 \times 112 =448

Now, remaining pieces = Total pieces - Fruity pieces

remaining pieces = 560 - 448 = 112

Also given that \frac{1}4 of the remaining pieces are mind.

Number of mint pieces:

\dfrac{1}{4}\times 112 = 28

Other flavors remaining = Total pieces - Fruity pieces - Mint pieces

Other flavors remaining = 560 - 448 - 28

Other flavors remaining = 112 - 28 = <em>84</em>

<em>Number of Other flavor candy is 84.</em>
