The distributive property is when the coefficient in front of the parentheses is applied to both terms inside.
a. distribute the 6 to make 6xa+6x5. simplify to make 6a+30
b. distribute the 12 to make 12x4+12x3a. simplify to make 48+36a
c. distribute the c to make (1/2)xb-(1/2)x12. simplify to make (b/2)-6
Answer: The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
I just did it on USA Test Prep, its not C
Divide both sides by 2
p+1=12
minus 1
p=11
The Answer is A.(you are welcome)
Answer:
The cost per duck is $5.00 and $8.00 for chickens
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation would be like this:
50c + 30d = 550 (divide this by 10)
5c + 3d = 55
3d = 55 - 5c (multiply by 3)
9d = 165 - 15c
Next,
44c + 36d = 532 (divide this by 4)
11c + 9d = 133
11c + 165 - 15c = 133
11c - 15c = 133 - 165
-4c = -32 (divide by -4)
c = 8
Therefore, the cost of each chicken is $8.00
9d = 165 - 15c
9d = 165 - 15(8)
9d = 165 - 120
9d = 45 (divide by 9)
d = 5
