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.

Amanda [17]

Answer: 6,160,000 db

Step-by-step explanation:

The sound of a jet engine is 70,000 times louder than that of a lawn mower.

Since we know the sound of a lawnmower, we can multiply that by 70,000 to find the sound of a jet engine:

= Sound of lawnmower * 70,000

= 88 * 70,000

= 6,160,000 db

Which graph most likely shows the experimental probability histogram of X based on 100 data points?
Archy [21]

Answer:

  see attached

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on 100 trials, we don't expect the experimental probability to deviate much from the theoretical probability. The scales on the attached graphs are hard to read, but you want to choose the graph that ...

  • has bars that total 100 in their length
  • has bars that are approximately .50, .25, .17, .08 in height, corresponding to the area fraction

We think the appropriate choice may be C, but we cannot tell for sure.
