Write a pair of equivalent expressions using distributive property
bulgar [2K]
The distributive property "distributes" a number through all numbers/terms in a set of parentheses by multiplication.


EXAMPLES
Equivalent expressions are the first and last steps. The middle step just shows the work.

5(2 + 3x)= (5*2) + (5*3x)= 7 + 15x

4(2x + 4y)= (4*2x) + (4*4y)= 8x + 16y

10(4x + 5)= (10*4x) + (10*5)= 40x + 50


ANSWER:
Only one pair below is needed for your answer.

5(2 + 3x)= 7 + 15x

4(2x + 4y)= 8x + 16y

10(4x + 5)= 40x + 50


Hope this helps! :)

zaharov [31]

Answer:f=1800/d Inverse proportion function. Provided f is in pounds & d is in inches.

Step-by-step explanation: the relationship between f & d is inverse proportion.

A constant k has to be derived from the relationship.

If f is inversely proportional to d then f=k(1/d)

K= f X d

= 50 X 36

=> constant K=1800.
