Answer:
16 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 part of the ratio represents 24 inches.
Dividing by 3 gives the value of one part of the ratio.
24 in ÷ 3 = 8 in ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus
2 parts = 2 × 8 in = 16 in ← hypotenuse of smaller triangle
The correct option is B. Distributive property
Given,
On solving the above equation,
multiplying both sides by 3 we, get

now subtracting 21 from both the sides,

dividing both the sides by 2 we get,

Since in the above steps we follow all the giving property except the distributive property.
Hence the correct option is B. Distributive property.

260+(20x) =140+(30x)
x represents the number of months.
subtract 20x from both sides and subtract 140 from both sides
120=10x
divide each side by 10
12=x
So in 12 months, Jamal will have paid the same amount to both shops.
To check your answer, you plug in 12 for x.
260+20(12)=140+30(12)
260+240=140+360
500=500
Hope this helps.
