How to add,subtract, and multiply distributive property
I am working on adding, subtracing, and multiplying distributive property. I am confused because i do not know what steps to take in order to do each problem

The distributive property allows us to simplify equations.
The following is a simple problem that shows how we can use the distributive property:
A florist is selling flower arrangements with 4 lilies and 3 roses. If John bought 5 arrangements, how many of each flower would he have?
5 x (4 + 3)
The distributive property says that we can distribute the 5 and simplify this to 5 x 4 + 5 x 3. By multiplying you would get 20 lilies and 15 roses or 35 flowers total.
If we do not distribute the 5, we would get 5 x 4 + 3. 20 lilies and 3 roses or 23 flowers total.
The distributive property works the exact same way with subtraction, but remember, you only distribute to the numbers inside the parentheses. Variables can be distributed the same way.
with subtractions, one must take great care. For example 5-3*(6-2) = 5-3*6+3*2. Note that the rule that the product of two negatives is a positive was used. A common mistake is to say that the expression equals 5-3*6-3*2.

While the question is vague, this may help.
The Order of Operations is the priority in which you perform operations in mathematics. The order of operation is:
- Do operations within parentheses first,
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division, Left to right, as you encounter them
- Addition and Subtraction, Left to right, as you encounter them
An example:
5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =
Work the parentheses, and keep everything else unchanged: 5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =5 (6)2(4) - 3(3)(8)2
Now your exponents: 5 (6)2(4) - 3(3)(8)2 = 5 (36)(4) - 3(3)(64)
Now Multiplication, Left to right: 5 (36)(4) - 3(3)(64) = 720 - 576
Now Addition and Subtraction, left to right: 720 - 576 = 144
Until you get used to it, feel free to do only one operation at a time, even if multiple instances appear in the same line, such as working with our parentheses in the example above:
5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 = 5(6)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =5(6)2(4) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 and so on.
Only the function in C has the range of all real numbers.
Later on, when you will be familiar with more type of functions you will know that when x is on the power range is usually only positive values or negative values if only not shifted, even if shifted it will only add to its range this numbers by which unit it was shifted.
B is shifted parabola. It has the range of {y| -3≤∞}
In my opinion, Darrin's inference is wrong because according to given question, "<em>Darrin surveyed a random sample of 10 students from his science class about their favorite types of TV shows.</em><em>"</em><em> </em>
This line provides the information that the survey is taken randomly. Also, if Darrin had taken some other students, then the ineference of other new students compared with previously surveyed students will be different.
This frankly tells that <em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>p</em><em>r</em><em>o</em><em>b</em><em>a</em><em>b</em><em>i</em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>t</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>d</em><em>i</em><em>f</em><em>f</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>y</em><em>s</em><em>.</em>
Therefore, Darrin's inference is wrong or invalid.
Chelsea has 55 art brushes. She has this manu because Monique has 5 necause 11x5 is 55. 55 plus Monique's 5 is 60 brushes in total. Have a nice day :)
