3(x + 4)

Distributive property

= 3(x) + 3(4)

= 2x + 12

x + 2(x+6)

Distributive property

= x + 2(x) + 2(6)

= x + 2x + 12

Combine like terms

= 3x + 12

3(x + 4) = x + 2(x+6) = 3x + 12

Answer: 3x + 12

Which of these numbers is between 1 and 3/4 ?<br><br>PLEASE HELP

Elanso [62]

Since I don't see attachment, I guess the solution will be as follows:

1 & 3/4 , since 1 = 4/4, then it could be rewritten :

4/4 & 3/4, hence between these 2 fraction there is 2/4 or 1/2.

Please solve these questions on the topic of exponents

galina1969 [7]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: $x^{-a} = \frac{1}{x^a}$

a. $4^{-3} = \frac{1}{4^3} = \frac{1}{64}$

b. $13^{-2} = \frac{1}{13^2} = \frac{1}{169}$

c. $(-3)^{-2} = \frac{1}{-3^2} = \frac{1}{9}$

Which choices are equivalent to the exponential expression below? Check all that apply. (4/5)^3

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

A, C, D

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember: Exponents are simply repeated multiplication.

The exponent determines how many times to multiply the base number by itself.

$(\frac{4}{5} )^3=\frac{4}{5} *\frac{4}{5} *\frac{4}{5} =\frac{64}{25}$

Option 'A' and 'C' apply.

Option D applies because:

$\frac{4^3}{5^3} =\frac{64}{125}$
