What expression is equivalent to 5(4 + 2x) Using distributive property

2 answers:

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.

A college writing seminar increased its size by 50\PP, percent from the first to the second day. If the total number of students

Jobisdone [24]

Answer: There were 10 students in the class on the first day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of students of the first day.

Given: A college writing seminar increased its size by 50 percent from the first to the second day.

i.e. Number of students on second day = (Number of students on first day)+(50% of Number of students on first day)

= x +50% of x

= x+0.50x

= (1.50)x

=1.50x

Since, it is given that the total number of students in the seminar on the second day was 15.

i.e. $1.50x=15$

$\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{15}{1.5}\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{150}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=10$

Hence, there were 10 students in the class on the first day.
