3(2m + 9) - 1 = 2
6m + 27 - 1 = 2
6m + 26 = 2
6m = 2 - 26
6m = -24
m = -4

9(x + y)
(7 - a)(b)
The Distributive Property is used in algebraic expressions to multiply a
single term and two or more terms which are inside a set of parentheses.
In the case of x(2y), there is only
one term inside the parenthesis
In the case of 9(x ∙ y), the distributive
property is not used because (x ∙ y) = xy which means only one term will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (9)
In the case of 9(x + y), the distributive
property is used because the two terms in the parenthesis (x and y) will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (9)
9(x + y) = 9*x + 9*y (by applying the distributive property)
In the case of (7 ∙ a)(b), the distributive
property is not used because (7 ∙ a) = 7a which means only one term will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (b)
In the case of (7 - a)(b), the distributive
property is used because the two terms in the parenthesis (7 and -a) will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (b)
(7 - a)(b) = 7*b - a*b (by applying the distributive
property)
In the case of (2 ∙ x) ∙ y, the distributive
property is not used because (2 ∙ x) = 2x which means only one term will be
multiplied by the term outside the parenthesis (y)

"<span>Paula is now four times the age of Lynn. Lynn will be 16 in 10 years. How old was Paula four years ago?"
If Lynn will turn sixteen in ten years, she must be 6 at the current moment:
16-10=6
Since Paula is 4 times the age of Lynn, Paula must be:
6(4)
=24
24-4
=20
Paula was 20 years old, 4 years ago.
Hope this helps.

Answer: the coordinates of B' are (6, -13)
Justification:
1) Translating triangle ABC according to the rule (x,y) → (x + 2, y - 8) means that every single point of the triangle will be translated two units to the righ (x + 2) and 8 units downward (y - 8).
2) To find the coordinates of anay image you have to add up 2 to the x coordinate (x + 2) and subtract 8 from the y-coordinate (y - 8).
3) Peforming those simple operations to the coordinates of the point B (4, -5), you will obtain the point B':
* x' = x + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6
* y' = y - 8 = -5 - 8 = - 13
Answer: the coordinates of B' are (6, -13)
