When you are looking for the perimeter of the rectangle, you just add all of them up to get the answer, but when you are using distributive property it can help you understand that this number amount of times. For example, the perimeter of 5, 10, it =15, but when you use distributive property, 2(5+10), that equals 30.

Which number can each term of the equation be multiplied by to eliminate the decimals before solving?

Ok...

5.6 = 56/10 = 560/100

1.1 = 11/10 = 110/100

0.12 = 12/100

--------------

$\frac { 560 }{ 100 } j-\frac { 12 }{ 100 } =4+\frac { 110 }{ 100 } j\\ \\ \\ 100\times \left( \frac { 560 }{ 100 } j-\frac { 12 }{ 100 } \right) =\left( 4+\frac { 110 }{ 100 } j \right) \times 100\\ \\ 560j-12=400+110j\\ \\ 560j-110j=400+12\\ \\ 450j=412\\ \\ j=\frac { 412 }{ 450 }$

So, the answer is: 100

You could multiply both sides of the equation by 100 to get the value of (j) quickly.

All good. Fill in t with 10 and solve for the expression g(t). 10 = t so it fill in
