Explain why 3(5x) does not equal to (3 times 5)(3times x)

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Because 3(5x) is the same as 3 *5 * x

Step-by-step explanation:

When a number is next to another in parantheses, it signifies multiplication. In this case, we already have 5 and x grouped together by a multiplication sign, so the entire thing is 5 * x. The statement below is key

Distribution in multiplication is only possible if a variable is grouped to another real number by a plus or minus sign.

So in this case, we have 3 * 5 * x, which is 15x. However, if we had 3(5 + x), we would have 15 (3 * 5) + 3x (3 * x).

Hopefully that makes sense!

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

y = 3x + 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Trend line equation in the form :

y = mx + b

m = slope

b = intercept

Using the points :

(0, 62) ; (6, 80)

Slope, m = Rise / Run = (y2-y1) / (x2 - x1)

y2 = 80 ; y1= 62 ; x2 = 6 ; x1 = 0

m = (80 - 62) / (6 - 0)

m = 18 / 6

m = 3

Intercept, b = value of y when x = 0

(0, 62) ; hence, b = 62

y = 3x + b

y = 3x + 62
