Distributive Property basically means that you have an expression, and every value in that expression is multiplied or divided by the same thing. 
So for your example, you divide everything by 12. But since it is an expression, not an equation, you can't get rid of the 12 and be done. You have to put it somewhere so that it remains in the equation. Thus, 12(x-y)

Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve.
leonid [27]

Answer:

As an equation: 15 × x = -75

Solved: x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

15*x = -75

\frac{15*x}{15} = -\frac{75}{15}, Divide by 15 on both sides to solve for x

x=-\frac{75}{15}, The 15 in the numerator cancels out with the denominator

x= -5, because 75/15=5

X=y+1400<br> 0.08x+0.05=840
mezya [45]

Answer:

x = 7000

y = 5600

(7000, 5600)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the system of equations means to find the point of intersection (graphically). You are finding what value of 'x' and what value of 'y' fits both equations.

x = y + 1400

0.08x + 0.05y = 840

We can solve using the method <u>substitution</u>, where you replace a variable in one equation with an equivalent expression.

<u>Since "x" is y + 1400, we can replace "x" in the second equation.</u>

0.08x + 0.05y = 840

0.08(y + 1400) + 0.05y = 840    

Distribute over brackets by multiplying 0.08 with y, then 0.08 with 1400.

0.08y + 112 + 0.05y = 840         Collect like terms (with "y" variable)

112 + 0.13y = 840

Now isolate "y" in the simplified equation.

112 - 112 + 0.13y = 840 - 112         Subtract 112 from both sides

0.13y = 728

0.13y/0.13 = 728/0.13         Divide both sides by 0.13

y = 5600         Solved for y

We can substitute "y" with 5600 in any other equation that has "x".

x = y + 1400

x = 5600 + 1400          Add

x = 7000         Solved for x

You may express the answer as a coordinate, or an ordered pair (x, y).

The solution is (7000, 5600).
