Answer:

Distributive property is used to expand expressions by multiplying the factor to every term in the group and combining similar terms if there are any. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

An example is...

3(x+4) + 3(y-8)

This is the same thing as...

3x + 12 + 3y -8

When you divide two fractions, you're actually multiplying one of them by the reciprocal of the other. First, find the reciprocal of the second fraction by flipping it upside down. Then, multiply it by the first fraction. (Numerator x numerator and denominator x denominator)

\frac{-7}{12} ÷ \frac{2}{3}   Replace the second fraction with it's reciprocal
\frac{-7}{12} x \frac{3}{2}   Multiply (-7 x 3 and 12 x 2)
\frac{-21}{24} Both 21 and 24 are divisible by three, so divide them by 3
\frac{-7}{8}

What is 8 more than twice the sum of a number and 3 is the same as -6?
a_sh-v [17]
This can be solver by creating a small equation with x being the number and solving for x. The equation would be 8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Solve for x:
8 + 2( x + 3 ) = -6
Distribute the 2
8+ (2x+6)=-6
Subtract 8
2x+6= -14
Add 6
2x= 8
Divide by 2
x=4

So the number you are looking for is 4

I hope this helps!
