I’m pretty sure it would be C
Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x
We can see that both expressions, 9 times 3 and 9 times 8, have a common number of 9. We can take that number out, and we can combine 3 and 8 together. This gives us the expression 9(3 + 8). Therefore, the expression <span>(9×3)+(9×8) expressed as the distributive property is 9(3 +8), both totaling to 99. Hope this helped and have a fabulous day!</span>
Four as zeros don't count when you're figuring out significant figures
It is 24 dollars and 40 cents $24.40 because you just divide 122 by 5 and you get 24.4 and then you multiply 24.40 times 3 and you will get $73.20
