Using the distributive property is done by multiplying the factor (outside the parentheses) to each term within it. In this case, 8(3 + 4), we multiply the 8 by 3, and then add it to the product of 8 x 4:
8(3 + 4) = 8 x 3 + 8 x 4 = 24 + 32
If we need to simplify further, this adds up to 56.
Let 'c' represent the number of pictures Chelsea took.
Let 's' represent the number of pictures Sonya took.
For last year's Thanksgiving, c + s = 236
For this year's Thanksgiving, let 'x' represent the number of photos taken in total. x = c + s, where c and s are two integers that are the same (c = s).
And we know that for both years, c + s + x = 500.
As we know that c + s is already 236 from last year, we can remove c + s from the equation in bold and replace it with 236 instead.
236 + x = 500.
Now we have to isolate the x term.
x = 500 - 236
x = 264.
We know that x = c + s, where c and s are the same, so we can just use one of the variables and double it (so you either get 2c or 2s - it doesn't matter which one you pick because they're both the same).
2c = 264
c = 132
c = s
s = 132.
Both took 132 pictures this year.
Answer:
x = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you cannot subtract -1 from 4x, you multiply 2 × 4x = 8x
Now, you have 8x - 1 + 3 = 7
Seperate the 8x from the other numbers
8x = 1 - 3 + 7 ---> 6
8x = 6
Now simplify
x = 
<----- to reduce, divide the numerator and denominator by 2
Hence,
x =

It appears as if 12cm is half the length of the side so we can assume that the total length of one side is 24cm.
The area of a square is given by the equation 
where s is the length of the side.
A=576
The area of this square is 576cm2.
Hope this helps!
