Answer:
Rewrite the expression 10(15 – 6) using the distributive property of subtraction.
A) 10(6) – 10(15)
B) 10(9)
C) 10(6 –15)
D) 10(15) – 10(6)
Show/Hide Answer
A) 10(6) – 10(15)
Incorrect. Here a greater number would be subtracted from a lesser number, and the answer would not be a whole number. The correct answer is 10(15) – 10(6).
B) 10(9)
Incorrect. The numbers in parentheses were subtracted before the number 10 could be distributed. The correct answer is 10(15) – 10(6).
C) 10(6 –15)
Incorrect. You probably used the commutative law instead of the distributive property. The correct answer is 10(15) – 10(6).
D) 10(15) – 10(6)
Correct. The 10 is correctly distributed so that it is used to multiply the 15 and the 6 separately.
Step-by-step explanation:
I can’t, sir! I cannot leave my post to help with your math problems, over!
Obviously this will be a negative number
-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x
-16 = 2x
x = %28-16%29%2F2
x = -8 is the number

Check solution in the original statement: x=-8
3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14
-24 - 2 = -40 + 14
-26 = -26
Triangles MNP & MAB are similar (NP//AB & Angle A= Angle N (correspondent) Same for P & B
We know that MA = 67.2 -3.2 = 35.2
Since Triangles MNP & MAB are similar , then we can write the following ratio:
MN/MA=MP/MB or 67.2/35.2 =81.9/x
& x= 43 m
