The equation is never true because you have to multiply 2 with all numbers in the parentheses. Therefore
2(5x +4) = 10x + 8.
Because 2 x 4 is not 6 but 8
For this case we have the following equation:

If we multiply both sides of the equation by 3 we get:
---> Multiplication Property of Equality
Applying the distributive property we have:
---> Distributive Property
Adding 1 on both sides of equality we have:

---> Addition Property of Equality
Subtracting
on both sides we have:

---> Subtraction Property of Equality
Finally, dividing by -4 on both sides we have:

---> Division Property of Equality
It usually works well to do what the instructions tell you. Multiply each diameter by 3.14.
a) 3.14×6 cm = 18.84 cm
b) [can't read the picture]
d) 3.14×9 in = 28.26 in
e) 3.14×11 mm = 34.54 mm
(16/18)
(24/27)
You just times 8 and 9 by the same number, like:
(8•2/9•2)=(16/18)
(8•3/9•3)=(24/27)
You could do any number:
(8•100/9•100)=(800/900)
