Answer 1

Answer:

There are 240,000 acres of the state parkland in Mississippi.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a= Mississippi's parkland acres

You can use either Distributive Property, or The Order of Operations.

Distributive Property:

(76,000+4,000) 3= a

228,000+12,000= a

240,000= a

Order of Operations:

(76,000+4,000) 3= a

(80,000) 3= a

240,000= a
