The distributive property combines multiplication with addition and multiplication with subtraction together in order to simplify the equation. It is named as such because the number outside of the open and close parenthesis are distributed to the terms inside. Say for example, the equation given is 5(2x - 3). According to the distributive property, you distribute 5 by multiplying to each of the terms inside the parentheses. The solution would be: 5*2x + 5*-3 = 10x - 15. As you can see, it involved multiplication with addition and subtraction. Generally, you just have to add all the terms while making sure you carry the sign of the integer along when you multiply them just as shown in my example.
Answer:
a:b = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we need to operate with terms in order to arrive to a ratio a:b (or a/b).
We have:
2a−b/6 = b/3
Lets sum b/6 in both sides:
2a−b/6 + b/6 = b/3 + b/6
2a = b/3 + b/6
Now, we can multiply and divide b/3 by 2 to make a 6 appear on the denominator and sum it with b/6, this is, use common denominator:
2a = b/3*(2/2) + b/6
2a = 2b/6 + b/6
2a = 3b/6
2a = b/2, as 3/6 = 1/2
Now lets divide both sides by b to make an a/b appear:
2a/b = (b/2)/b
2a/b = 1/2
Finally, multiply both sides by (1/2) or divide by 2:
(2a/b)/2 = 2
a/b = 2
This is, a is twice as b. If b is 1 so a is 2; if b is 45 so a is 90, and so on.
Answer:
two consecutive negative integers have a product of 110 . what are the integers?
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of cards Aaron has : A
Given :
⊕ Bonny has twice as many cards as Aaron
⊕ Connor has 6 cards more than Bonny
⊕ Total cards : 101
⇒ Number of cards Bonny has : 2A
⇒ Number of cards Connor has : 2A + 6
⇒ Aaron cards + Bonny cards + Connor cards = 101
⇒ A + 2A + 2A + 6 = 101
⇒ 5A = 101 - 6
⇒ 5A = 95
⇒ A = 19
<u>Answer</u> : Aaron has 19 Cards
