The distributive property is just using a certain type of grouping symbols inorder to distribute a particular operation to everything within that grouping symbol.
in the problem 2(a-2), you distribute the 2 to everything within the grouping symbols, giving you 2a-4 as your final evaluated answer. if they wanted you to solve, you set it to zero as such
2a-4=0
2a=4
a=2

The coordinates of the vertices of a polygon are shown below

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of a polygon are D(-4,5),E(-1,5),F(1,2), and G(-1,-1).

Here, number of vertices is 4.

In heptagon, number of vertices = 7

In hexagon, number of vertices = 6

In octagon, number of vertices = 8

In quadrilateral, number of vertices = 4

Since the given polygon has 4 vertices, therefore it is a quadrilateral.

Hence, option D is correct.

Please help ill give brainliest

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

$\sf A . \sf \frac{3}{-7}$

$\sf E. \sf -( \frac{-3}{-7} )$

This above options makes the expression true.

The negatives above can be distributed up as well, which happened in A.

In E, when the negatives inside the bracket cancels out, the negative outside the brackets multiplies and makes the expression true.

In B the expression turns positive, thus false same happens with C and D
