The distributive property allows us to simplify equations.
The following is a simple problem that shows how we can use the distributive property:
A florist is selling flower arrangements with 4 lilies and 3 roses. If John bought 5 arrangements, how many of each flower would he have?
5 x (4 + 3)
The distributive property says that we can distribute the 5 and simplify this to 5 x 4 + 5 x 3. By multiplying you would get 20 lilies and 15 roses or 35 flowers total.
If we do not distribute the 5, we would get 5 x 4 + 3. 20 lilies and 3 roses or 23 flowers total.
The distributive property works the exact same way with subtraction, but remember, you only distribute to the numbers inside the parentheses. Variables can be distributed the same way.
with subtractions, one must take great care. For example 5-3*(6-2) = 5-3*6+3*2. Note that the rule that the product of two negatives is a positive was used. A common mistake is to say that the expression equals 5-3*6-3*2.

While the question is vague, this may help.
The Order of Operations is the priority in which you perform operations in mathematics. The order of operation is:
- Do operations within parentheses first,
- Exponents
- Multiplication and Division, Left to right, as you encounter them
- Addition and Subtraction, Left to right, as you encounter them
An example:
5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =
Work the parentheses, and keep everything else unchanged: 5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =5 (6)2(4) - 3(3)(8)2
Now your exponents: 5 (6)2(4) - 3(3)(8)2 = 5 (36)(4) - 3(3)(64)
Now Multiplication, Left to right: 5 (36)(4) - 3(3)(64) = 720 - 576
Now Addition and Subtraction, left to right: 720 - 576 = 144
Until you get used to it, feel free to do only one operation at a time, even if multiple instances appear in the same line, such as working with our parentheses in the example above:
5(4+2)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 = 5(6)2(1+3) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 =5(6)2(4) - 3(6-3)(7+1)2 and so on.
You multiply the 2 together 4 5/6 and 2 2/3.
4 5/6=29/6
2 2/3=8/3
you multiply the tops together then the bottoms together
29*8=232
3*6=18
232/18=116/9
The question might have some mistake since there are 2 multiplier of t. I found a similar question as follows:
The population P(t) of a culture of bacteria is given by P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000, where t is the time in hours since the culture was started. Determine the time at which the population is at a maximum. Round to the nearest hour.
Answer:
27 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of population P(t) = –1710t^2+ 92,000t + 10,000
Find the derivative of the function to find the critical value
dP/dt = -2(1710)t + 92000
= -3420t + 92000
Find the critical value by equating dP/dt = 0
-3420t + 92000 = 0
92000 = 3420t
t = 92000/3420 = 26.90
Check if it really have max value through 2nd derivative
d(dP)/dt^2 = -3420
2nd derivative is negative, hence it has maximum value
So, the time when it is maximum is 26.9 or 27 hours
Isn't a neutral number 0? Since it's neither negative nor positive. So if you multiply 0 by 7, it's 0...
