The distributive property is basically expanding brackets.
So if you take 3(x + 4) = 36 and remove the brackets (so multiplying out the 3), you get:
3x + 12 = 36
And from there you simplify :)
3x + 12 = 36
3x = 24
x = 8
The distributive property was used to multiply the 3 through the brackets, thus making the equation easier to solve I guess
Step-by-step explanation:
A. is 10! you multiply the scale (2.5) times the length (4)
b. is 6, you divide 15 by 2.5
c. is 5. you do what you did with a but with 2 inches instead of 4
d. is 1.5 you divide 378 by 250
Answer: C.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, notice eqn 2 asks for a positive number to add to 8 and get 2. Eliminate all choices which claim eqn 2 has a solution.
Second, to eliminate A, add 5 to both sides and notice the absolute value isn't being asked to be negative.
To check, verify
|4 × 3 − 3|− 5 = 4
|4 × (-1.5) − 3|− 5 = 4
I do believe it's 37.....
