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!

Julia collects colored beads for craft projects. Of julia's beads, 4/9 are silver, 1/5 are, gold and 1/4 are blue. The rest of t
klemol [59]

Answer:

19 red beads

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to find a common denominator of 4/9, 1/5 and 1/4.

The common denominator is 180. Like in an expression, what we do to one side we have to do to the other.

Silver - 180/9 = 20 ; 20*4 = 80 so there are roughly 80 sliver beads.

Gold - 180/5 = 36 ; 36*1 = 36 so there are roughly 36 gold beads.

Blue - 180/4 = 45 ; 45*1 = 45 so there are roughly 56 blue beads.

180 - (silver+gold+blue) = red beads

180-161 = 19 red beads b/c ----->

80+36+45+19 = 180

A 3-gallon bottle of fabric softener costs $28.92. What is the price per quart?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

$2.41

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 quarts in a gallon. If there are 3 gallons that means there is 12 quarts (3x4=12) You then take $28.92 and divide it by 12, which will give you 2.40833333 and on and on, you round that to $2.41. I hope that helps!
