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!

When you roast coffee, it loses 12% of its weight. how much fresh coffee do you need in order to get 14 2/25 lb of roasted coffe
Komok [63]

Answer:

16 lb of fresh coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x pound be the  amount of fresh coffee needed.

100 - 12 = 88%  is equivalent to 14 2/25  of roasted coffee.

By proportion  x = 14 2/25  /  88/100

= 352 / 25 * 100/88

= 35200 / 25 * 88

= 16 lb  (answer).
