First of all: subtract 3 from 3x then from 2y then divide
The distributive property means to distribute the number being multiplied by the numbers in the parentheses.
In this case, (v+12) is being multiplied by 10.
To solve this, you simply have to multiply 10 by each term inside the parentheses.
That means it would be (v•10)+(12•10).
(v•10) is equal to 10v, since v is the variable and we don't know its value.
(12•10) is equal to 120.
So by using the distributive property we can find that (v+12)10 = 10v+120.
No profit means P(x)=0: x³-4x²+3x-12=0
factor by regrouping: x²(x-4)+3(x-4)=0
take out (x-4): (x-4)(x²+3)=0
x=4 or x²=-3
x² is not a negative number, so x=4 is the only answer.
The answer to #11 is: x = 15
The answer to #12 is: x = 5
