Answer:

use the distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to rewrite the expression with the GCF factored out.

<u>Example</u>:

ab +ac +ad . . . . has terms with a common factor of 'a'

When the common factor is factored out, the distributive property tells you the equivalent is ...

= a(b +c +d)

If 'a' is the greatest common factor, then b, c, d are mutually prime and no more factors can be removed to outside the parentheses.

What is the image of point (0,3) for mapping (x,y) (x-2,y-3)

Ann [662]

When it asks for the image, that means what are your new coordinates after doing the rules they give you. In this, the rule is to subtract 2 from your x value and subtract 3 from the y value. So you subtract 2 from 0 and subtract 3 from 3. This will give you the values to use for the x and y of your answer:)

A city is 7,642 feet above sea level. Is this elevation closer to the highest point or the lowest point?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

It must be closer to the lowest point.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a simple and a general explanation to it. As it gets higher up from the sea level, the elevation gets closer to the lowest point simply because the distance from the highest point keeps decreasing as you get closer. The elevation is the distance left between the highest point and the current point.
