Answer:

The equivalent expression is $28p+14q+21r$

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property says for any numbers <em>a, b c</em>, and <em>d</em>

$d*(a+b+c)=a*d+b*d+c*d$

which basically says you should multiply the coefficient $d$ by every term in the parenthesis to get an equivalent expression.

Applying the distributive proper to the expression $7(4p+2q+3r)$ we get:

$7(4p+2q+3r)=7*4p+7*2q+7*3r$

$=\boxed{28p+14q+21r}$

which is an equivalent expression to $7(4p+2q+3r)$ .

I got ten. Here's the equation.

x = 1/2x + 5

<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>

<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>

<span>1/2x = 5 </span>

<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>

<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>

<span>x = 10 cats</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to solve it out

start with multiplying z to each. you don't multiply it to the 6 because it is in the same parenthesis set, but you multiply it to everything in the other set. After multiplying, you get: $2z^3$ , $3z^{2}$ , $5z$

now do that to the 6. After multiplying you get: $12z^{2}$ , $18z$ , $30$

now set it all next to each other $2z^3$ + $3z^{2}$ + $5z$ + $12z^{2}$ + $18z$ + $30$

now combine like terms. start with the to the highest power. since there is only one that has a third power, you put that one first. then you combine the squared ones, and so forth.

work combining the squares: $3z^{2} + 12z^{2} = 15z^{2}$
