How do you solve a distributive equation

1 answer:

4 0

Let's say you are given the equation 4(x+5). What you must do is distribute the 4 to everything inside the parenthesis. What this means is that you multiply everything inside the parenthesis by the number outside the parenthesis (in this equation that would be 4). For example, the equation 4(x+5) would distribute as (4*x)+(4*5). This would then become 4x+20.

How many times as the value of digit 3 in 47,235 is value of the digit 3 in 2,438,017

polet [3.4K]

Here we have to apply the method of place value.

Place value is the numerical value that a digit has by virtue of its position in a number.

Let us find place value of 3 in each number.

In 47,235, 3 is in tens place, so its place value is 30.

In 2,438,017, 3 is in ten thousands place , so its place value is 30,000.

Now we have to find how many times as the value of digit 3 in 47,235 (30) is value of the digit 3 in 2,438,017 (30,000)

so comparing 30 and 30,000,

we can say that 30 is 1000 times 30,000

or we can say value of digit 3 in 47,235 is 1000 times value of the digit 3 in 2,438,017.

Which equation represents the line that is perpendicular to y = 1/4 and passes through (-6,-9)

cluponka [151]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = $\frac{1}{4}$ is the equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis.

A line perpendicular to it will be a vertical line parallel to the y- axis with equation

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

The line passes through (- 6, - 9 ) with equation

x = - 6 → B
