Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We want to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the number on the outside.
-3(-7)=21
-3(3z)=-9z
Therefore, our expression is 21-9z.
Now you know how to use the distributive property! Have a wonderful day! :D
X² - 7x + 10 = 0
Let's factor out the equation first.
x² - 7x + 10
x -2
x -5
This factoring of (x-2)(x-5) fit the equation.
(x-2)(x-5) = 0
One of the factors must equal 0 as to equal zero.
Either x - 2 = 0 or x - 5 = 0
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
x - 5 = 0
x = 5
The two answers are x = 2 or x = 5. Hope this helps!
