How can you use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY solve the equation: 3(x-4) = 24 ? *

Mathematics

By using the Distributive Property, you would multiply 3 into the parenthesis (3 · x and 3 · -4)

3(x - 4) = 24

3x - 12 = 24

Then, you would solve like any normal one-step equation.

3x - 12 = 24

     +12   +12

__________

3x      36

__  =  __

3        3

x = 12, which is your final solution.

If you need any further explanations, please ask me :)

Answer:

3(x - 4) = 24 This is the normal equation.

3x - 12 = 24 Next, use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by the number on the right of the parentheses, which in this case is 3. 3 times x is 3x, and remember to use any symbols to the left of the numbers and use as if it was a negative. 3 times -4 -12. Get rid of the parentheses and replace with the new numbers, which are 3x and -12.

3x = 36  I think you are solving for X so that's what i'm doing.

x = 12

There are 874 pieces of candy in the piñata. There are 23 children at the party, and they all agreed to split the candy equally.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

38 candies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Total number of candy = 874

Total number of children = 23

Since we know that they are all sharing it equally, each child would get;

Each child = 874/23

Each child = 38 candies.

Assume the hold time of callers to a cable company is normally distributed with a mean of 5.5 minutes and a standard deviation o
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The percent of callers are 37.21 who are on hold.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A normally distributed data.

Mean of the data, \mu = 5.5 mins

Standard deviation, \sigma = 0.4 mins

We have to find the callers percentage who are on hold between 5.4 and 5.8 mins.

Lets find z-score on each raw score.

⇒ z_1=\frac{x_1-\mu}{\sigma}   ...raw score,x_1 = 5.4

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ z_1=\frac{5.4-5.5}{0.4}

⇒ z_1=-0.25  

For raw score 5.5 the z score is.

⇒ z_2=\frac{5.8-5.5}{0.4}  

⇒ z_2=0.75

Now we have to look upon the values from Z score table and arrange them in probability terms then convert it into percentages.

We have to work with P(5.4<z<5.8).

⇒ P(5.4

⇒ P(-0.25

⇒ P(z

⇒ z(1.5)=0.7734 and z(-0.25)=0.4013.<em>..from z -score table.</em>

⇒ 0.7734-0.4013

⇒ 0.3721

To find the percentage we have to multiply with 100.

⇒ 0.3721\times 100

⇒ 37.21 %

The percent of callers who are on hold between 5.4 minutes to 5.8 minutes is 37.21

One day you bike for 30 miles 10 cool down at a rate of 0.25 miles/minute. The total distance you bike is 35 miles. How many min
tatyana61 [14]
To determine the length of time it would took for the biker to cool down, we need the rate that would relate the distance he traveled to cool down per units of time. For this problem, the rate is given as 0.25 miles per minute. So, we simply divide the total distance he traveled with this rate. We calculate as follows:

time to cool down = distance / rate
time to cool down = 35 miles / 0.25 miles / minute
time to cool down = 140 minutes or 2 hrs and 20 minutes

Therefore, the biker would need to cool down for about 2 hrs and 20 minutes if he traveled for 35 miles.
