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.

Step-by-step explanation:

4) The first and second terms for both ratios need to be in the same order.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio is:

16:36

In order to find any ratio equivalent to given ratio, the ratio can be divided by a number or multiplied to a number.

The equivalent ratio that is given: 72:32

If we multiply the given ratio by 2: We get 32:72

So,

Looking at the options we can conclude that the right answer is

4) The first and second terms for both ratios need to be in the same order.

Need help please help me

The solution is the point of intersection between the two equations.

Assuming you have a graphing calculator or a program to lets you graph equations (I use desmos) you simply put in the equetions and note down the coordinates of the point of intersection.

In the graph the first equation is in blue and the second in red.

The point of intersection = the solution = (-6 , -1)



If you dont have access to a graphing calculator you could draw the graphs by hand;

1) Draw a table of values for each equation; you do this by setting three or four values for x and calculating its image in y (you can use any values of x)

y = 0.5 x + 2 (Im writing 0.5 instead of 1/2 because I find its easier in this format)

x | y
-1 | 1.5 * y = 0.5 (-1) + 2 = 1.5
0 | 2 * y = 0.5 (0) + 2 = 2
1 | 2.5 * y = 0.5 (1) + 2 = 2.5
2 | 3 * y = 0.5 (2) + 2 = 3

y = x + 5

x | y
-1 | 4 * y = (-1) + 5 = 4
0 | 5 * y = (0) + 5 = 5
1 | 6 * y = (1) + 5 = 6
2 | 7 * y = (2) + 5 = 7

2) Plot these point on the graph
I suggest to use diffrent colored points or diffrent kinds of point markers (an x or a dot) to avoid confusion about which point belongs to which graph

3) Using a ruler draw a line connection all the dots of one graph and do the same for the other

4) The point of intersection is the solution

Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37^x = 12; however, he is not quite sure where to start.
Rainbow [258]

The solution of the given exponential equation is 0.688.

Given that Mike is working on solving the exponential equation 37ˣ = 12.

An exponential equation is an exponential equation where the power (or)  part of the exponent is a variable.

firstly, we have to slve this equation is by converting it to logarithmic form. Any exponential equation can be transformed into an equivalent logarithmic equation as follows:

aˣ = y

logₐy = x

Now, we will apply this transformation to our equation and we get

log₃₇12=x

Further, we will apply the change of base formula so that solution is written in terms of base 10 logs:

x=log12/log37

So, this is an exact answer to given equation, but we can simplify it further by using decimal approximation of it using a calculator. Remember that these logs are base 10:

x≈1.079/1.568

x=0.688

Hence, the solution of the given exponential equation 37ˣ=12 is 0.688.

Subtract. Express your answer in simplest terms. 3/4 - 3/5
bazaltina [42]
3/4 - 3/5

common denominator is 20

15/20 - 12/20 = 3/20

3/20 is your answer

multiply the opposite denominator with current numerator to get your new numerator number

hope this helps
