Explanation:
Distributive property: → 
Multiply by the numbers from left to right.

Then, you can also divide into the numbers.


Product it's going to be multiply by the numbers, fractions, factors, and multiples.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!
Have a great day!
To solve this, add 17 to both sides:
x = -25 + 17
x = -8
The given equations are:
5x - 2y = 88
3x + 4y = 58
Multiplying the 1st equation by 2, we get the new set of equations as:
10x - 4y = 176
3x + 4y = 58
Adding the two equations, we get:
10x - 4y + 3x + 4y = 176 + 58
13x =234
x = 18
Using the value of x in 1st equation, we get:
5(18) - 2y = 88
- 2y = 88 -5(18)
-2y = -2
y = 1
So, the solution of the equation is (18, 1)
Your answer will be twelve and nine thousandths because in place value decimals are like tenths, hundredths, thousandths. In place value for regular numbers are ones, tens, hundreds and so on. So, when you have 12.009, you are going to separate the decimals with the numbers. Then, write down the number in words which would be twelve. Now, go to the decimal and write that down, which is 9 thousandths. Finally, combine the both of them to get: twelve and nine thousandths.
Hope this helps :)
and good luck
