\frac{1}{4}(300 + 260) = \frac{1}{4} \times 300 + \frac{1}{4} \times 260 is the expression that demonstrates the distributive property

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

At a ski resort, \frac{1}{4} of the 300 skiers are beginners

\frac{1}{4} of the 260 snowboarders are beginners

The resort staff used the distributive property to make the calculation of the total number of beginners on the ski slopes

Beginners in skiers = \frac{1}{4} of the 300

Beginners in snowboarders = \frac{1}{4} of the 260

Total number of beginners = Beginners in skiers + Beginners in snowboarders

\text{ Total number of beginners } = \frac{1}{4}(300) + \frac{1}{4}(260)

We have to use distributive property

The distributive property of multiplication states that when a number is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, the first number can be distributed to both of those numbers and multiplied by each of them separately, then adding the two products together for the same result as multiplying the first number by the sum

<h3>a(b + c) = ab + bc</h3>

<em><u>Therefore, our expression is:</u></em>

\frac{1}{4}(300) + \frac{1}{4}(260)

We have to take \frac{1}{4} as common term to get distributive property

\frac{1}{4}(300) + \frac{1}{4}(260) = \frac{1}{4}(300 + 260)\\\\\frac{1}{4} \times 300 + \frac{1}{4} \times 260 = \frac{1}{4}(300 + 260)

Thus distributive property is applied

Find an equation perpendicular to x=1 and passing through (8,-9)
valina [46]

Answer:

y=-9

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find an equation of a line that's perpendicular to x=1 that also passes through the point (8,-9).

Note that x=1 is a <em>vertical line </em>since x is 1 no matter what y is.

This means that if our new line is perpendicular to the old, then it must be a <em>horizontal line</em>.

So, since we have a horizontal line, then our equation must be our y-value of our point.

Our y-coordinate of our point (8,-9) is -9.

Therefore, our equation is:

y=-9

And this is in standard form.

And we're done!
