The distributive property is a simplification rule that does not change the value of an expression. Nothing need be done to the other side of the equation.
q = -4(3+x)
q = -4*3 -4*x . . . . . the -4 is distributed. The right side has not changed value.
Find the GCF of 15 and 35
15=3*5
35=7*5
The Greatest Common Factor here is 5
Divide both the numerator and denominator by this value to get the simplest form.
15/5=3
35/5=7
Final answer: 3/7
The rate of change is also called the slope
the formula foe the rate of change is (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
x1 = -3
x2 = 6
y1 = 14
y2 = -1
rate of change = (-1 - 14) / (6- (-3)
= -15 / 9
= -5/3
I think the answer is 276
12 * 23 = 276
hope it helps
