<span> 3 x (4 + 5) as (3 x 4) + (3 x 5)
This is the distributive property</span>
4a-8=28
add 8 to both sides to start to isolate the variable (a)
-8+8 cancels each other out
28+8=36
4a=36
to completely isolate the variable divide both sides by 4
4a÷4=a
36÷4=9
a=9
Hi there!
From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.
- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.
From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.
However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!
And the answer is... they're both correct!
Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.
89% I.e C should be the answer I hope it helps you . it should be
4+5=9
4÷9×200=88.8% approximately 89%
