will you save?
I was hoping someone could help me do this in the distributive property. I'm a bit confused about how to do it with the distributive property however I know how to do it without.

Answer:

$2.69

Step-by-step explanation:

The original prices of the books are $2.50, $4.95, and $6.00.

You want to buy three books that are on sale at 20% off (or 0.2 as decimal).

In total, you'll save:

0.2\cdot \$2.50+0.2\cdot \$4.95+0.2\cdot \$6

Uce distributive property:

0.2\cdot \$2.50+0.2\cdot \$4.95+0.2\cdot \$6\\ \\=0.2\cdot (\$2.50+\$4.95+\$6.00)\\ \\=0.2\cdot \$13.45\\ \\=\$2.69

Please help me!! Iv been stuck!
Sloan [31]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the leftmost triangle is a 45-45-90 isosceles right triangle, a = b =\frac{7\sqrt2}{\sqrt2} = 7\\

The rightmost triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle, and the side lengths are in the proportion 1:\sqrt3:2 from shortest to longest. Therefore, c = 7\cdot\frac{\sqrt3}{1} = 7\sqrt{3} \implies \boxed{7}

“L” horizontal pieces:
cut it to 3 squares of 3x3 each
2x3(3x3) = 54
total surface area = 216+54 = 270cm^2

6. Determine the number of solutions for each of the equations below. Be sure to
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

<h3>C. no solution</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the number of solutions for each of the equations below. Be sure to

justify your conclusions. *

(z – 8)2 = -1

A. one solution

B. infinitely many solutions

C.no solution

D. x = 9

Given the expression;

<u>(z – 8)^2 = -1</u>

we are to find the nature of the solution;

Take the square root of both sides

(z – 8)^2 = -1

√(z – 8)^2 = √-1

z- 8 = √-1

Note that √-1 will give a complex number i to have;

z = 8 ± i

This therefore shows that the equation has no real solution.
