Distribute 4 over the parentheses:-

4(x - 2) = 4x - 8 which is identical to the right side.

Yes - this is always true for any values of x, and its called an identity.

Yes, 4(x-2) is 4 times x-2 which using the distributive property gives you 4x-8 because 4 times x is 4x and 4 times -2 is -8 so you would always get 4x-8

Use rounding (to the nearest 10) to estimate the product of 3217 X 44.

Lorico [155]

So using whole number rounding I believe the answer you should get would be 141,550 as 3217 x 44 is equals to 141,548 so the answer may be 141,550 since 50 is the closest ten number to 48, with a distance of only 2 numbers.

The measures of the angles of a convex polygon form an arithmetic sequence. The least measurement in the sequence is 128º. The g

Over [174]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite arithmetic sequence}\\\\
S_n=\cfrac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ a_n=n^{th}~value\\
----------\\
\stackrel{least}{a_1}=128\\\\
\stackrel{greatest}{a_n}=172
\end{cases}$

$\bf S_n=\cfrac{n}{2}(128~+~172)\implies S_n=\cfrac{n}{2}(300)\implies S_n=150n
\\\\\\
\textit{but we also know that sum of all interior angles is }180(n-2)
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{sum of the angles}}{S_n}=\stackrel{\textit{sum of the angles}}{180(n-2)}=150n
\\\\\\
180n-360=150n\implies 30n=360\implies n=\cfrac{360}{30}\implies n=12$
