4d + 12 = 4(d + 3)
Basically, you just need to determine what 4d and 12 have in common. In this case, they both divide evenly by 4. Therefore 4 (d + 3) = 4d + 12 according to the distributive property.
First, put parenthesis around the first two numbers and the last two numbers.
(20g³+24g²) (-15g-18)
Then, take out the greatest common factor of both parenthesis.
4g²(5g+6)-3(5g+6)
You then separate the numbers outside the parenthesis and the numbers in the parenthesis.
(5g+6) (4g²-3)
Then you simplify the second set of numbers. Since the set of numbers can't be simplified, you would leave this problem as it is. I hope this makes sense.
A, D, and E are true
One X on the line plot marks one time something happened. So the two x’s above the 1 means that he practiced piano for one hour (see to the right that says hours next to the numbers, so 1=1 hour) two times.
45 minutes is 3/4 of an hour, and is the mark right between 1/2 and 1. There is one x above this mark, so that means Thaddeus practiced for 45 minutes one time, so B is false
Thadeus practiced piano for 30 minutes two times, so C is false because he didn’t mostly practice for thirty minutes.
D is correct because there are 2 Xs above the 0, which means two times he practiced for zero hours, which means he didn’t practice at all.
E is correct because 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour, so it is the mark between 0 and 1/2. We see there are three x’s there, so that means he practiced for 15 minutes 3 times.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you want me to explain it differently.
Substitute a number for each variable
Ex.
2x x=5
(2)(5)
=10
First, replace all variables with the given values.
12(9) + 9(2) + 2(12)
This should then equal 150, then the formula says to multiply this answer by 2. Doing so, should give a final answer of 300.
