Answer:

This is the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

You use the distributive property to allocate a number outside of the parentheses to inside the parentheses.

For this example, they distributed a to both b and c making it a*b + a*c

This will result in the same answer:

3/5(-2 + 10/13) = 3/5*-2 + 3/5*10/13

3/5(-1.23..) = -6/5 + 30/65 (..= approx)

approximately- 0.74 = -0.74

You would put in 12 for x since there are 12 months in a year. Then you would multiply 12 by 35, and add 70.

An athlete knows that when she jogs along her neighborhood greenway, she can complete the route in 10 minutes. It takes 20 minu

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

10 miles per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent athlete's walking speed.

We have been given that her jogging rate is 5 mph faster than her walking rate, so athlete's jogging speed would be $x+5$ miles per hour.

$\text{Distance}=\text{Rate}\cdot \text{Time}$

10 minutes = 1/6 hour.

20 minutes = 1/3 hour

While walking, we will get $D_{\text{walking}}=x\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{3}\text{hour}$

$D_{\text{walking}}=\frac{x}{3}$

While jogging, we will get $D_{\text{jogging}}=(x+5)\frac{\text{miles}}{\text{hour}}\cdot \frac{1}{6}\text{hour}$

$D_{\text{jogging}}= \frac{(x+5)}{6}$

Since athlete is covering same distance while walking and jogging, so we can equate both expressions as:

$\frac{x}{3}=\frac{x+5}{6}$

Cross multiply:

$6x=3x+15$

$6x-3x=15$

$3x=15$

$\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}\\\\x=5$

Therefore, athlete's walking speed is 5 miles per hour.

Jogging speed: $x+5\Rightarrow 5+5=10$

Therefore, athlete's jogging speed is 10 miles per hour.

What value is equivalent to 108-8x(5-2)-60

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

-28 + -1 = -29

-14 + -2 = -16

-7 + -4 = -11

-4 + -7 = -11

-2 + -14 = -16

-1 + -28 = -29

1 + 28 = 29

2 + 14 = 16

4 + 7 = 11

7 + 4 = 11

14 + 2 = 16

28 + 1 = 29
