I really need help with distributive property

A quick explanation of distributive property:

Distributive property happens when multiple numbers are on the inside of parenthesis. There is a number on the outside that needs to be multiplied to both of the numbers on the inside of the parenthesis.

Distributive property is used because according to PEMDAS (the order in which you need to do operations in a multi-step equation) You need to do the problem on the INSIDE of the parenthesis first, because that's what the P in PEMDAS stands for. However, you cannot always do the operation on the inside of the parenthesis first. This normally happens because instead of having two numbers inside of the parenthesis, you have  at least one variable (letter that can be any number).

An example is this: (4 + 6) 3. This equation needs to follow PEMDAS, and you need to add the numbers inside the parenthesis first, before you multiply them by the number on the outside. However, if you distributed the 3 by multiplying it to both of the numbers inside the parenthesis BEFORE you added them together, you would get the same answer.  6 + 4 = 10 and 10 x 3 is thirty. 6 x 3 = 18 and 4 x 3 = 12. 12 + 18 = 30. However you shouldn't use distributive property unless you have an equation like this:

(x + 6) 3. Now you can't add x and 6 together, because x is a variable, and variables cannot be added to numbers, but we can use distributive property to multiply to both x and 6. then the equation is:  3x + 18.

Answer:

To “distribute” means to divide something or give a share or part of something. According to the distributive property, multiplying the sum of two or more addends by a number will give the same result as multiplying each addend individually by the number and then adding the products together.

4x-y=1 inslope intercept form please show work
shutvik [7]

Answer:

y = 4x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 4x - y = 1 into this form

add y to both sides

4x = y + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

4x - 1 = y

y = 4x - 1 ← in slope-intercept form

Which pairs of points would result in a line with a rate of change of 2:1? Select all that apply.
Helen [10]

Answer:

Options A, C, D are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose the pair of points from that given in the attached file which will result in a line with a rate of change i.e. slope of 2:1 i.e. 2.

A. The points are (-4,-11) and (-2,-7).

Then the slope of the joining line is \frac{-7-(-11)}{-2-(-4)} =2

B. The points are (5,6) and (-5,12).

Then the slope of the joining line is \frac{12-6}{-5-5} =-\frac{3}{5}

C. The points are (0,-3) and (-4,-11).

Then the slope of the joining line is \frac{-11-(-3)}{-4-0} =2

D. The points are (0,-3) and (5,7).

Then the slope of the joining line is \frac{7-(-3)}{5-0} =2

Therefore, options A, C, D are true. (Answer)

The cost of a large flat screen tv is decreasing 20% per year.
Lemur [1.5K]
Let x be the old price

X= 1200$
The price decreased 20% after 1 year to become price y :
Y= 0.8x
= 0.8 (1200)
= 960$
In the year after y also decreased 20% to be price y’:
Y’= 0.8y
= 0.8 (960)
= 768 $
The price y’ then decreased 20% to become price y’’:
Y’’ = 0.8 y’
= 0.8 (768)
= 614.4 $
Then the price will be 614.4 $ after 3 years
