Distribution is one of the most important terms of math you need to know.

Distributing, in this case, is when you take the -6 and multiply the terms in the parenthesis.

When you do that. You’ll get -78 = -6p+24.

*Remember: a negative times a negative is always positive. A positive times a negative is always negative. If you need more help with this tip, please feel free to reply if you need any better tips and tricks.

Now, you’re going to solve -78-24 (since you switch the sign when you bring one term to the opposite of the equation).

Then you’ll have -102 = -6p

Lastly, instead of multiplying, you divide -102 by -6.

Your final answer should be 17 = p (or flip it to make it p = 17).

Draw a conclusion is the statement below always sometimes or never true give at least two examples to support your reasoning the

It's sometimes true.

One example is the least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, which is their product.

But the product isn't always the answer because (example 2:) the least common multiple of 6 and 10 is 30 because 6*5=30 and 3*10=30, however 6*10 is 60.

Ergo, it is only sometimes true.

Answer: b=13, t=29

Step-by-step explanation:

Substituting the first equation into the second,

$2b+2+b=41\\\\3b+2=41\\\\3b=39\\\\b=13\\\\\implies t=2(13)+2=29$
