The Distributive property states that when we have the statement a(b + c), we can "distribute" the a by multiplying a times both terms that are inside the parenthses.
So in this problem, 2(5 + 7) can be simplified by distributing the
2 through both terms that are inside the set of parenthses.
So we have (2 · 5) + (2 · 7).
find the slope of the two points written in the graph ( slope = rise. )

Answer:
The number of plums = 4
The number of peaches = 16
The number of nectarines = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of peaches be = x
Let the number of nectarines be = y
Let the number of plums be = z
A box of fruit has four times more peaches than plums. This means that
The number of peaches = 4 X the number of plums.
i.e x = 4z
The box has 3 fewer nectarines than plums. This means that
Number of nectarines = number of plums - 3
i.e y = z - 3
If the box contains 21 pieces of fruit, this means that if we sum up all the peaches, nectarines, and plums in the box, we will get 21.
Peaches + Nectarines + Plums = 21
4z + z-3 + z = 21
6z =21 +3
z = 24/6
z = 4
Therefore, the number of plums = 4
The number of peaches = 4 X 4 = 16
The number of nectarines = 4 -3 = 1
If (55 + x)/2 is to be 67, then 55+x = 2*67, so x = 2*67 - 55 = 79
