We have to divide 48 by 3 using distributive property.

Division using distributive property is used as it is much easier and accurate.

For dividing 48 by 3, we split first 48 as a multiple of 3 and 10

i.e. 48 = 30+18

Now divide again 18 as 3x5 +3

i.e. 48 = 30+15+3

By distributive property we have 48/3 = (30+15+3)/3 =30/3 +15/3 +3/3

Now easier to calclate this

30/3 = 10 : 15/3 =5 and 3/3 =1

Hence 48/3 = 10+5+1=16

<u>Answer:</u>

16

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The distributive property for division simply means that you can split the quantity of the given number into smaller chunks that are easier to divide.

Here in this case, we are to divide 48 by 3 so we will split 48 into numbers that are easily divisible by 3:

48 ---> 30 + 18

30 and 18 can be further be split into ---> (15 + 15) + (15 + 3)

Dividing these numbers by 3 to get:

\frac{15}{3} +\frac{15}{3}+ \frac{15}{3} +\frac{3}{3} = 5+5+5+1=16

How do you graph an equation using x and y intercepts.
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

I'm going to use the following as an example.

2x + 4y = 8

To find the y-intercept, set x equal to 0 then solve for y.

2(0) + 4y = 8

two times zero is zero, so we have the following equation.

4y = 8

Solve for y

\frac{4y}{4}  =  \frac{8}{4}  \\ y = 2

Your first point you will graph is (0, 2).

Now solve for the x intercept. To do this, set y = 0.

2x + 4(0) = 8

4(0) = 0, so you can remove it, and solve for x.

2x = 8

\frac{2x}{2}  =  \frac{8}{2}  \\ x = 4

Now the next point you have is (4, 0). plot that point. Connect the two points with a line and you are done.

Please help with this question!!!
DIA [1.3K]

y = - 3(x + 1 )² + 2

the equation of a quadratic in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here vertex = (- 1, 2), hence

y = a(x + 1)² + 2

to find a substitute (1, - 10) into the equation

- 10 = 4a + 2 ⇒ 4a = - 12 ⇒ a = - 3

y = - 3(x + 1)² + 2 ← in vertex form
