Answer:

FIRST NUMBER IS 20

AND

SECOND NUMBER IS 45

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE RATIO BE X

FIRST NUMBER = 4X

SECOND NUMBER = 9X

A/Q,

=}4X - 5 / 9X - 5 = 3 / 8

CRISS CROSS,

=}8 ( 4X - 5 ) = 9X - 5 ( 3 )

=}32X - 40 = 27X - 15

=}32X - 27X = - 15 + 40

=}5X = 25

=}X = 25 / 5

=}X = 5

THEREFORE,

FIRST NUMBER

=} 4X

=} 5 × 4

=} 20

SECOND NUMBER

=} 9X

=} 5 × 9

=} 45

Use a form of the distributive property to rewrite the given algebraic expression without parentheses. 2(3x-3)
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

6x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive property says that a(b+c) = ab+ac

In my example you distribute the value on the outside to the things on the inside

In your problem you have a two on the outside that needs to be distributed to a 3x and a -3

1) 2 multiplied by 3x equals 6x giving you the first part of your answer!

2) 2 multiplied by -3 equals -6 giving you the second part of your answer!

Don't forget that there is a - sign between the 3x and 3, don't drop it!

Put the two values together to get 6x-6

Let me know if you have any further questions :)
