Do 4+3+5 which = 12
then do 48 divided by 12 which is 4
Now 4 x 4 = 16
3 x 4 = 12
5 x 4 = 20
16 + 12 + 20 = 48 so its divided as 16:12:20
When you are doing distributive property, it can only happen if a number or exponent is before the bracket. From this equation, you can solve for x like so:
7(x+5)-x=42
7x+35-x=42 -Using distributive property (Multiplication)
6x=7 -Collecting like terms.
x= 7/6 -The answer.
Therefore x would equate to 7/6.
Step-by-step explanation:
3×3 = 9, so it's greater than 3
3×4/3 = 4, so it's greater than 3
3×5/5 = 3, so it's equal to 3
3x4/9 = 4/3, so it's less than 3
3x5/6 = 5/2, so it's less than 3
