First Method (Distributive Property)
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Rearrange the equation to make it easier.
(-5) (2m - 5m)
In distributive property, it's all about multiplying. The -5 goes to the 2m and the 5m. Like this: (-5 • 2m) - (-5 • 5m).
-10m + 25m
15m
Second Method
(2m - 5m) (-5)
Since 2m and 5m have the same variable, we can subtract them.
(-3m) (-5)
Multiply.
15m
15m is your answer. I hope this helps!
Are you asking for a definition
POINT A I had the same question in my math class !!!
Answer:
20.24 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, since the age of the crab is given in months and the regression line was computed using the age in months, we just have to replace the value of the age in the formula to estimate the size.
The formula obtained for the estimated size Y was
Y = 9.1411 + 0.4775X
where X is the age in months
Replacing X with 23.2417, we get
Y = 9.1411 + 0.4775*23.2417 = 20.24 cm
