This is the solution hope you can understand, i apologize for the bad handwriting
In this case u can’t use the distributive property. U just multiple whats in the parenthesis (39•5)=195 and that’s ur answer.
Let’s say if the problem said 5(2+1) u can’t use the distributive property bc u have to do what’s in the parentheses first. 5(3)=15
But If u had a problem like 2(4x+6) then u can use the distributive property. This is bc u can’t add 4x+6 bc they aren’t like terms. So u multiple the 2 by 4x which is 8x and the 2 by 6 which is 12 then ur answer would be : 8x+12
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
1+2x=7
7-1=6
2x=6
6/2=3
x=3
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
The signs didn't really "swap". Instead, the whole function was divided by -1, or we could say the function was divided by -3. That would turn:
-18x² - 15x + 3 = 0
into
(-18 / -3)x² - (15 / -3)x + (3 / -3) = 0
6x² + 5x - 1 = 0
And that gives the "swapped signs".
