This is the distributive property:
<em>ab</em> + <em>ac</em> = <em>a</em> (<em>b</em> + <em>c</em>)
In this case, you have
<em>a</em> - <em>a</em> (1.2⁴)
and <em>a</em> is a common factor to both <em>a</em> and <em>a</em> (1.2)⁴, so you can pull it out as
<em>a</em> (1 - 1.2⁴)
The largest of the three angles is 84°.
Hope this helps! :)
The variable “x” can be defined as the price of regular gas.
The equation is x = x - (.02)7
x = x - (.02)7
(.02)7 = .14
x = x - .14
X - X = nothing so it just leaves you with -.14
The answer is that the gas price changed by a total of - 14 cents or -0.14
