Hello!

The problem given in the image above has asked us to simplify the expression using the Distributive Property. The Distributive Property states the following:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
a(b – c) = ab – ac

In this case, we’ll use the first of the two formulas. Insert any known values given in the original equation:

a(b + c) = ab + ac
5(4 + 2x) = 5(4) + 5(2x)

Now simplify the right side of the equation:

5(4) + 5(2x) = 20 + 10x

We have now proven that 5(4 + 2x) is equivalent to the expression 20 + 10x.

I hope this helps!

Using the distributive property, 10x + 20.

(5 * 4) + (5 * 2x) = 20 + 10x = 10x + 20.

Answer:

$8^2$ and 4 x 4 x 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 to the third power, is the same as 4 x 4 x 4.

This is then equal to 64.

8 squared is also equal to 64, making it also an answer.

None of the other ones work.

If you have 12 customers in a lawn care business, what is the minimum number of times you need to mow per customer each month to

Trava [24]

I believe the answer would be D. Because, 10*12= 120 and 400/120= 3.33
Since you are talking about money, you would round up.

Meaning that the answer should be D.
