Problem 13
10p+10q factors to 10(p+q). If we apply the distributive property, we can distribute the 10 to each term inside (p and q) to get
10(p+q) = (10 times p)+(10 times q) = 10*p + 10*q = 10p+10q
so we get the original expression again. Here 10 is the GCF of the two terms.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Plug p = 1 and q = 2 into the factored form
10*(p+q) = 10*(1+2) = 10*(3) = 30
As a check, let's plug those p,q values into the original expression
10*p+10*q = 10*1+10*2 = 10+20 = 30
We get the same output of 30

Hi there!
Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: 
where m is the slope (also called the gradient) and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x is 0)
<u>1) Plug the gradient into the equation (b)</u>
We're given that the gradient of the line is 4. Plug this into as m:
<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>
Plug in the given point (1,10) as (x,y) and solve for b
Subtract 4 from both sides to isolate b
Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 6. Plug this back into as b:
I hope this helps!
If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio.
Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication.
Finally, solve for x and if you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.
Think of it this way: your friend is thinking of a year, and you have to guess which. She has told you the year is in the 20th century (1900s).
There are 100 years in the 20th century (1901-1999 plus 1900).
There can be 100 possibilities
