How can you use the DISTRIBUTIVE PROPERTY solve the equation: 3(x-4) = 24 ? *

Answers

Answer 1

By using the Distributive Property, you would multiply 3 into the parenthesis (3 · x and 3 · -4)

3(x - 4) = 24

3x - 12 = 24

Then, you would solve like any normal one-step equation.

3x - 12 = 24

     +12   +12

__________

3x      36

__  =  __

3        3

x = 12, which is your final solution.

If you need any further explanations, please ask me :)

Answer 2

Answer:

3(x - 4) = 24 This is the normal equation.

3x - 12 = 24 Next, use the distributive property and multiply everything in the parentheses by the number on the right of the parentheses, which in this case is 3. 3 times x is 3x, and remember to use any symbols to the left of the numbers and use as if it was a negative. 3 times -4 -12. Get rid of the parentheses and replace with the new numbers, which are 3x and -12.

3x = 36  I think you are solving for X so that's what i'm doing.

x = 12

Triangle A) perpendicular cross section of a cylinder
Rectangle B) shape created when a right triangle is rotated about the y-axis
Circle C) shape created when a rectangle is rotated about the y-axis
Cylinder D) parallel cross section of a sphere
Cone E) perpendicular cross section of a pyramid

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular cross section of a pyramid -------   triangle.  

Imagine you cut pyramid like that. Height of pyramid would be height of your triangle. and sides of pyramid would be sides of triangle.

Perpendicular cross section of a cylinder -------  rectangle

diameter of a base of cylinder would be one side of rectangle and height of cylinder would be other side of rectangle. (pair of sides)

parallel cross section of a sphere ------ circle

when you cut sphere a side would appear with shape of circle.

shape create....    -----    cylinder.  

one side of rectangle would be high of cylinder and other would be radius of it.

last one is cone.  If you place right angle in coordinate beginning (0.0) and one of shorter sides to lie on y axis other would be on x axis. when rotated you get cone.

There were 54 runners to start a race. In the first half of the race, 1/3 of them dropped out. In the second half of the race, 5/6 of the remaining runners dropped out. How many runners finished the race?

Answers

Answer:

6 runners finished the race

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of runners = 54

In the first half of the race, 1/3 of them dropped out

= 1/3 of 54

= 1/3 * 54

= 54/3

= 18 runners

Runners remaining after first half = total runners - dropped out runners at first half

= 54 - 18

= 36 runners

In the second half of the race, 5/6 of the remaining runners dropped out

= 5/6 * 36

= (5*36)/6

= 180/6

= 30 runners

Runners remaining after second half = runners remaining after first half - dropped out runners at second half

=36 - 30

= 6 runners

Therefore, 6 runners finished the race

Answers

Answer:

1.5m+1.25j

Step-by-step explanation:

m equals the number of muffins sold, and because each muffin sells for $1.50, 1.5m represents the income made from the muffins.

Same thing with the juice boxes, j equals the number of juice boxes sold, and because each juice box sells for $1.25, 1.25j represents the income made from the juice boxes.

Add the income from both of them to get the total income, and you get 1.5m+1.25j.

Y = 500x + 38000 would be the first step, as that sets up the equation. Then, 45500 = 500x + 38000 would be the next. Third would be 7500 = 500x, as that is where we subtract 38000 from both sides. Then, finally the answer is x = 15.
To put it in a list
1. Y = 500x + 38000

supplementary

m22 + m23 = 180°

m2l + m23 = 180°

Answers

Answer:

Because linear pairs of angles are  supplementary. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° and m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°.

Because angles that are  supplementary to the same angle are congruent. It can be concluded that ∠1 ≅ ∠3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is attached.

Linear pairs angles are angles which are formed from the intersection of two lines and they are adjacent to each other. Linear pair angles are supplementary.

If angles are supplementary to the same angle, then they are congruent.

∠1 and ∠3 are vertical angles

∠1 and ∠2 form linear pairs while ∠2 and ∠3 form linear pairs. Therefore:

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° (linear pair angles are supplementary)

m∠2 + m∠3 = 180° (linear pair angles are supplementary)

Hence using transitive property of equality:

m∠1 + m∠2 = m∠2 + m∠3

Using subtraction property of equality by subtracting m∠2 from both sides gives:

m∠1 = m∠3

∠1 ≅ ∠3 (vertical angles are congruent)

Because linear pairs of angles are  supplementary. m∠1 + m∠2 = 180° and m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°.

Because angles that are  supplementary to the same angle are congruent. It can be concluded that ∠1 ≅ ∠3.

Multiply equation 1 with 5

5x+25y=-30..(3)

Subtract equation 2 and equation 3

5x-3y-5x-25y=-2+30

-28y=28

Divide both sides by 28

y=-1

Now plug in y value in equation 1

x=5-6

x=-1
