The distributive property "distributes" a number through all numbers/terms in a set of parentheses by multiplication.
EXAMPLES
Equivalent expressions are the first and last steps. The middle step just shows the work.
5(2 + 3x)= (5*2) + (5*3x)= 7 + 15x
4(2x + 4y)= (4*2x) + (4*4y)= 8x + 16y
10(4x + 5)= (10*4x) + (10*5)= 40x + 50
ANSWER:
Only one pair below is needed for your answer.
5(2 + 3x)= 7 + 15x
4(2x + 4y)= 8x + 16y
10(4x + 5)= 40x + 50
Hope this helps! :)
To simplify the given equation, you want to combine like terms. Since both terms have x^8, we can add the coefficients and leave the x^8
3x^8-7x^8 (do 3-7)
=-4x^8 so the answer is C
Hope this helps
Answer:
x = 3 and y = 2
x = 1.25 and y = 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1:
See the diagram first.
If the two arrow lines are parallel then, the two triangles are similar.
So, the corresponding sides of the triangles are proportional.
So, 
Hence, x = 3 and y = 2 (Answer)
Part 2:
See the diagram first.
If the two arrow lines are parallel then, the two triangles are similar.
So, the corresponding sides of the triangles are proportional.
So, 
⇒ 
⇒ x = 1.25
Again, 
⇒ y = 1.75
Hence, x = 1.25 and y = 1.75 (Answer)

Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
7x - 12 = 9x - 26
7x - 12 = 9x - 26
+12 +12
7x = 9x - 14
7x = 9x - 14
-9x -9x
-2x = -14
-2x = -14
___. ___
-2 -2
x = 7
