Distributive
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>
Answer: 175 pounds</h3>
Work Shown:
x = number of pounds of strawberries purchased
1.38x = cost of buying those x pounds of strawberries, at $1.38 a pound
1.38x = 241.50
x = (241.50)/(1.38)
x = 175
As a check,
1.38*x = 1.38*175 = 241.50
which confirms the answer
4/7 - x = 6/35
You're trying to get x by itself, so you have to subtract 4/7 from both sides.
-x = 6/35 - 4/7
You need both of the fractions to the right of the equal sign to have the same denominator so that we could simplify them, so multiply 5/5 to -4/7.
-4 /7 × 5/5 = -20/35
So, our new equation is :
-x = 6/35 - 20/35
Simplify.
-x = -14/35
Divide both sides by -1.
x = 14/35
Divide by 7.
x = 2/5

HL is the correct answer the others are not possible
To solve those you need to FOIL or rainbow the distributive property
hope this helped
