The answer is C.

The first step in a math problem with distribution involved is to take care of the parentheses (PEMDAS). This means you have to distribute 3/4 to the (x - 8).

I hope this helped!

Answer:

C. Distribute 3/4 over (x - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are multiple ways to begin solving this problem.

If we want to cancel the 3/4 without using the distributive property, we would divide both sides by 3/4. Dividing by 4/3 will not cancel it.

When dividing by fractions, we multiply by the reciprocal; this would be multiplying both sides by 4/3. Multiplying by 3/4 will not cancel it.

Using the distributive property, we multiply (x-8) by the number in front of parentheses, 3/4. We cannot distribute 4/3, since it is not part of the equation.

The combined age of three relatives is 120 years. James is three times the age of Dan, and Paul is two times the sum of the ages

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem statement, we can create the following equation:

$J + P + D = 120$

where $J$ is the age of James, $P$ is the age of Paul, and $D$ is the age of Dan.

From the first part of the second sentence, we can set up the following equation:

$J = 3D$

From the last part of the second sentence, we can set up the following equation:

$P = 2(J + D)$

We can substitute the second equation into the last one to get the following:

$P = 2(3D + D)$

$P = 2(4D)$

$P = 8D$

We can then substitute the last two equations in the first to solve for $D$ :

$3D + 8D + D = 120$

$12D = 120$

$D = 10$

Plugging this into the other two equations will give us the remaining ages:

$P = 8D$

$P = 8(10)$

$P = 80$

$J = 3D$

$J = 3(10)$

$J = 30$

Answer: The area of the path= $36\ ft^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The side length of square garden included the path= 10 ft

Then the area of the field which included both gardens and path= $10\times10=100\ ft^2$

The width of the path = 1 ft

Therefore, the side of square vegetable garden = 10-2=8 ft

The area of vegetable garden = $8\times8=64\ ft^2$

Therefore, the area of the path= $100-64=36\ ft^2$

How can I solve the following equation: <br>3n/2-n/4=7n+4/12

devlian [24]

3n/2-n/4=7n+4/12
12 (3n/2-n/4=7n+4/12) factored in 12 to both sides to get rid of fractions
12 (3n/2)-12 (n/4)=12 (7n)+12 (4/12) distributive power
36/2n-12/4n=84n+48/12
18n-3n=84n+4 simplified
15n=84n+4
15n-84n=84n-84n+4 addition property
-69n=4
-69/-69n=-4/69 division property
n=-4/69

Solution : n=-4/69
