Answer:

An equivalent algebraic expression of -(b-5) using distributive property is

-b+5

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to use distributive property to solve the expression -(b-5)

The distributive property states that $a(b+c)=ab+ac$

Using distributive property to solve the expression -(b-5)

$-(b-5)=-(b)-1(-5)\\=-b+5$

So, an equivalent algebraic expression of -(b-5) using distributive property is

-b+5

HELP PLEASE. Check picture. I have tried but cannot seem to get it.

Sauron [17]

Answer:

$884^{-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by simplifying the denominator of the fraction. When multiplying exponents of the same base, you can add the exponents. This is also known as the product rule.

$a^x\cdot a^y=a^{x+y}$

["a" is the base, and "x" and "y" are the exponents]

Using this we find...

$884^{58}\cdot884^{46}=884^{58+46}=884^{104}$

When dividing exponents of the same base, you can subtract the exponents. This is also knows as the quotient rule.

$a^x\div a^y=a^{x-y}$

Using this we find...

$\frac{884^{97}}{884^{104}}=884^{97-104}=884^{-7}$

Chloe is painting on a stretched canvas that has an area of 108 square inches. The length of the canvas is 12 inches. The width

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: Width of canvas = 9 inches

Area left for painting after painting the border = 70 square inches.

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Area of painting = 108 square inches

Length of canvas = 12 inches

As we know that

$\text{Area of rectangle} = length\times breadth$

$108=12\times breadth\\\\\frac{108}{12}=breadth\\\\9=breadth$

So, breadth of canvas = 9 inches .

Now, Chloe paints a 1 inch wide blue border on the canvas.

$\text{So, remaining length left for painting after painting the border} = 9-1-1=9-2=7\text{ inches}$

$\text{ Remaining breadth left for painting after painting the border }= 12-1-1=12-2= 10\text{ inches}$

$\text{So , area of remaining portion }= length\times breadth \\\\ \text{ area of remaining portion }=7\times 10\\\\\text{ area of remaining portion }=70 \text{ square inches}$

Hence, remaining area = 70 square inches .
