Answer:

distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the distributive property states that the multiplication of a number (in this case, the number 4) by a sum (in this case is a subtraction: x-6) is equal to the sum of the multiplications of that number for each of the terms that belong to the sum:

we have: 4(x-6)

we apply the distributive property, so we have

4(x-6)=4*x-4*6

4(x-6)=4x-24

Connie's dog fido weighs 35 pounds. Her vet placed fido on a diet. What inequality can you write to find the average number of p

lawyer [7]

Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Weight of fido's dog = 35 pounds

Time period = 6 months

Goal weight to reach = 28 or less pounds

Let,

m be the weight to be lose each month.

Weight of dog - Time period * Weight to lose each month ≤ Goal weight

$35-6m\leq 28\\-6m\leq 28-35\\-6m\leq -7$

Dividing both sides by -6

$\frac{-6m}{-6}\leq \frac{-7}{-6}\\\\m\leq 1.17$

Fido's dog must lose 1.17 pounds each month to reach healthier weight.
