(4,-16) factor 3/4
3/4 ×4=3 , -16×3/4= -12
B' (3,-12)
Independent because the ratio of the second cube is the same (1:6), and it isn't affected by the result of the first cube
Answer:

--- Distributive property
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Ferns = 4
Palms = 2
Lillies = 10
Shrubs = 8
Required
Show the total cost of plants as an expression
Shorten it using the distributive property
First, represent Ferns with F; Palms with P; Lilies with L and Shrubs with S;
So, 4 Ferns = 4F
2 Palms = 2P
10 Lilies = 10L
8 Shrubs = 8S
Total Plants = Summation of the above parameters

The above expression represents the total plants bought;
Now, to apply the distributive property; we simply look for a common factor;
In this case, the common factor is 2;
So,
becomes


The cheapest service would be the year in which the mean was the lowest. In Year 4, the mean was the lowest.
The most consistent service would be the year in which the range was the lowest. In Year 3, the range was the lowest.
