The property that justifies this equivalence is the distributive property. you disribute by multiplying 5 and x to get 5x and 5 times negative 2 to get negative 10

Hey there! :D

The distributive property is what makes 5(x-2) to 5x-10

The distributive property states that a(b+c)= ab+ac

So, 5(x-2)= 5x-10

I hope this helps!

nevsk [136]

Step-by-step explanation:

9 = a7 + b

-2 = a9 + b

b = 9-7a and b = - 2-9a

9 - 7a = - 2-9a

2a = - 11

a = - 5.5

b = 9 - 5.5*7 = - 29.5

y = -5.5x - 29.5

It’s about right triangles but it’s confusing
Lynna [10]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean Theorem, which is for side lengths of right triangles.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  (c is the hypotenuse)

Common combination is 3-4-5. Just by looking at the answers, I can see A is 3-4-5 except everything is multiplied by 2.

B is wrong. It would be 5-12-13 if it were a RT.

C is wrong. 3-4-5

D is wrong. 4 + 25 = 49 is not an equation.

If a sprinkler waters 1 over 15 of a lawn in 1 over 3 hour, how much time will it take to water the entire lawn?
Feliz [49]
Now, a whole, will be 15/15 or 1 whole.

now, the sprinkler does 1/15 of the lawn in 1/3 of an hour, how long will it be to do the whole 15/15?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll}&#10;lawn&hours\\&#10;\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\&#10;\frac{1}{15}&\frac{1}{3}\\\\&#10;\frac{15}{15}&h&#10;\end{array}\implies \cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{15}\quad }{\frac{15}{15}}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{3}\quad }{h}\implies \cfrac{1}{15}\cdot \cfrac{15}{15}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{3}\quad }{\frac{h}{1}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{1}{15}=\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{h}\implies \cfrac{1}{15}=\cfrac{1}{3h}\implies 3h=15\implies h=\cfrac{15}{3}\implies h=5
