Which expression is equivalent to the given expression after using the distributive property?
2 answers:
We've been given to find out the exactly same equivalent expression for the equation 4(x + 5) + 8x by using distributive property.
Distributive property is nothing but it is a simple property in mathematics which is very common to use and help to simply the equation.
Now, multiplying 4 to the (x + 5) we get,
- The simplest equivalent expression is 12x + 20

c = 15d + 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
This can be represented by an equation of a line, where the number of days is our x-values(d), and the price is our y-values(c).
The price for one day ($45) and the price for 4 days($90) are specific points on that line.
The points are (1, 45) and (4, 90).
We can first find the slope of the line:
- As the price rises 45, the days increase by 3
- Slope = rise/run
- Slope = 45/3
- Slope = 15
Now we can find the base price, by plugging the slope and a point into the equation y = mx + b.
Solve for b:
- y = mx + b
- 45 = 15(1) + b
- 45 = 15 + b
- 30 = b
The base price (b) is 30.

1/3 of the wall takes 1/2 gallon paint.
3(1/3 wall) takes 3(1/2 paint)
1 wall takes 3/2 paint
Answer: 1 gallons paint
