Use the Distributive Property to simplify (–5 – c)( –1)

2 answers:

8 0

With this question, the distributive property means to distribute each term in the left parentheses to each term in the right parentheses.

= (-5 - c)( -1)
multiply each term in left parentheses by each term in right parentheses

= (-5 * -1) + (-c * -1)
multiply in parentheses; negative times negative equals positive

= 5 + c

ANSWER: 5 + c

Hope this helps! :)

temperature in Alexandria Kentucky from 45 degrees to 10 degrees in 5 hours what is the average change in temperature per hour

Leno4ka [110]

So the difference between 45 and 10 is..
35 (omygad)

You have to divide 35/5 to get the average drop in the temperature PER HOUR, meaning 7 degrees per hour.

5 The area of a rectangular lawn is 255 m². If its length is 15 m, find its perimeter.

Marina CMI [18]

Area of a rectangular lawn = l×b

255=15×x

Hence the breadth is 17 m

Hence perimeter =2(l+b)=2(15+17)=64

Bryce tried to solve an equation step by step. \qquad\begin{aligned} \dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\ \dfrac83&

sesenic [268]

Answer:

Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3

Explanation

Given the steps taken by bryce as shown, we are to find where he made an error

$\qquad\begin{aligned} \dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\ \dfrac83&=3c+\dfrac53&\green{\text{Step } 1}\\\\ \\ 1&=3c&\blue{\text{Step } 2}\\\\ \\ \dfrac13&=c&\purple{\text{Step } 3}\\\\ \end{aligned}$

Given the expression;

$\dfrac83&=3\left(c+\dfrac53\right)\\\\ \\$

Step 1:Expand the bracket using the distributive law;

8/3 = 3c + 3(5/3)

<em>Simplify</em>

8/3 = 3c + 15/3

Step 2: Subtract 15/3 from both sides

8/3 - 15/3 = 3c+15/3-15/3

(8-15)/3 = 3c

-7/3 = 3c

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 1/3

-7/3 * 1/3 = 3c * 1/3

-7/9 = c

Swap

c = -7/9

From the calculation, we can see that Bryce is wrong in step 1 because he did not distribute 3 over 5/3 thereby making his solution incorrect

Please help with number 1

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

19.0681

Step-by-step explanation:

Given in the question that,

angle from ted to the dog = 60° with the ground

height of ted from the ground = 16ft

To find,

distance between dog and the door of ted's building

Considering the scenario make a right angle triangle:

<h3>By using pythagorus theorem:</h3>

Tan 40 = opposite / adjacent

Tan 40 = height / distance between dog and the door

Tan 40 = 16ft / x

x = 16 / tan40

x = 19.068057

x ≈ 19.0681 (nearest to thousand)

So, the dog need to walk 19.0681ft to reach the open door directly below Ted.
