Explain how the Distributive Property can be used to solve the equation. 3(x + 4) = 36.

Mathematics

Distributive property is basically expanding brackets.

So if you take 3(x + 4) = 36 and remove the brackets (so multiplying out the 3), you get:

3x + 12 = 36

And from there you simplify :)

3x + 12 = 36

3x = 24

x = 8

Distributive property was used to multiply the 3 through the brackets, thus making the equation easier to solve I guess

A well-designed experiment should have which of the following characteristics?
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The answer is E: I, II, and III

Step-by-step explanation:

The three major features of a well designed experiment are:

1. Replication: If an experiment cannot be replicated, then it is not a well-designed experiment. Replication is one of the major characteristics of a well designed experiment

2. Control: A well designed experiment must have a control. Control, in an experiment, can be referred to as the steps taken to curb the impact of extraneous variables

3. Randomization: Subjects are expected to be randomly assigned to different groups.

Write a standard form of a quadratic equation that has roots - 5/2 and 3.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

2x^2 - x - 15 = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

In factor form this is

(x + 5/2)(x - 3) = 0

x^2 + 5/2x - 3x  - 15/2 = 0

x^2 - 1/2x - 15/2 = 0

Multiply through by 2:

2x^2 - x - 15 = 0.
