How do you know whether to add or subtract when using the distributive property to multiply?

1 answer:

6 0

Distributive property is characterized by the use of parenthesis, wherein you distribute the outside number to each term inside the parenthesis by multiplication. You'll just have to copy the operation inside the parenthesis as it is, whether addition or subtraction. For example,

3(10+4-3) = 3(10) + 3(4) - 3(3) = 33

Mina says triangle A with angles

kotykmax [81]

Answer:

Yes, Mina is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the triangles be A and B

Given

Triangle A:

$Angles = 34, 57$

Triangle B:

$Angles = 89, 57$

Required

Is Mina's claim correct?

First, we calculate the third angle in both triangles.

For A:

$Third\ Angle = 180 - 34 - 57$

$Third\ Angle = 89$

For B:

$Third\ Angle = 180- 89 - 57$

$Third\ Angle = 34$

For triangle A, the angles are: 34, 57 and 89

For triangle B, the angles are: 34, 57 and 89

<em>Since both triangles have the same angles, then by the postulate of AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle), the triangles are similar.</em>

A football is kicked from the ground and follows the graph of the function y = –t2 + 3t, where y represents height and t represe

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The height of the objects are the same after 2 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate at which time both objects have the same height we need to find the value of t that makes both equations equal. Therefore:

$-t^2 + 3t = -t + 4\\t^2 - 3t - t + 4 = 0\\t^2 - 4t + 4 = 0\\t_{1,2} = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4*1*4}}{2*1} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 16}}{2}\\t_{1,2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$

The height of the objects are the same after 2 seconds.

you are considering 2 jobs. one job pays $250 per week, plus 4.5% commission on all sales. The second job pays $1,800 per month

Hoochie [10]

The correct answer is A. Not only does $250 a week equal $1000 a month but the commission is also higher.

first job: $250wk = $1000 Month + .045 commission
= $12000 year + .045 commission
second job = $1800 Month + .03 commission
= $21600 year + .03 commission
commission based on sales of $1,000,000

1,000,000 times .045 = $45000
1,000,000 times .030 = $30000

FIRST JOB: $12,000 + $45,000 = $57,000
SECOND JOB: $21,600 + $30,000 = $51,600

The answer is definitely A.
