How is the Distributive Property used to simplify operations with scientific notation

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a,b, and c be real numbers.

The distributive property says that:

$a(b + c) = ab + ac$

Assuming we want to simplify:

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3})$

We apply the distributive property to get:

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3}) = 5*10^{-1} \times 10+150*10^{-3} \times 10$

We can now use rules of exponents to simplify further:

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3}) = 5*10^{-1} \times 10^{1} +150*10^{-3} \times 10^{1}$

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3}) = 5*10^{-1 + 1} +150*10^{-3 + 1}$

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3}) = 5*10^{0} +150*10^{-2}$

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3}) = 5*1+1.50*10^{-2}x {10}^{2}$

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3}) = 5*1+1.50*10^{-2 + 2}$

$10(5*10^{-1}+150*10^{-3}) = 5+1.50*10^{0} = 6.5 \times {10}^{0}$

One maid can clean the house four times faster than another. Working together they can clean the entire house in 4 hours. How lo

stich3 [128]

5 hours long would it take the faster maid cleaning alone.

What is a linear equation in math?

A linear equation only has one or two variables.
No variable in a linear equation is raised to a power greater than 1 or used as the denominator of a fraction.
When you find pairs of values that make a linear equation true and plot those pairs on a coordinate grid, all of the points lie on the same line.

Suppose, time taken by faster maid be x , hours.

So, time taken by slower maid ,

$x_{2} = 4x_{1}$ ( 4 time faster maid )
