Question

can someone help me with coefficients pleeeaaassseee

Answer 1

Perhaps if you post an actual problem...

Answer 2

okay jst a sec

Answer 3

7(6-x)

Answer 4

What are you supposed to do?

Answer 5

sorry
Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses.

Answer 6

there are a lot that i have to do can you help with all of them?

please

Answer 7

Okay. Distributive property says
\[a(b-c) = a*b - a*c\]What does that tell us about your problem?

Answer 8

i hav no idea i suc at mth

Answer 9

spelling, too, it appears!

Answer 10

42-7x

Answer 11

ha ha lol i am very good at English i just choose to write this way

Answer 12

Let's write your expression and mine right over each other:

\[7(6-x)\]\[a(b-c)\]
What corresponds to \(a\)? What corresponds to \(b\)? What corresponds to \(c\)?

Answer 13

a correspondes to b and b to c i think

Answer 14

No, match up \(a\) with something from your expression. Here are your choices: \(7\), \(6\), \(x\)

Answer 15

7 with A 6 with B and x with C

Answer 16

Very good.

Now let's look at my distributive property formula again:
\[a(b-c) = a*b - a*c\]You know what \(a\),\(b\), and \(c\) are in your expression. Fill in the blanks here.

Answer 17

is this right? 7(6-x)=7x6-7x

Answer 18

So far so good. Better to use something like * (probably shift-8 on your keyboard) to show multiplication. What is 7*6?

Answer 19

42

Answer 20

that is right and i found the multiplication sign on my keyboard * haha

Answer 21

so \[7(6-x) = \]

Answer 22

so sorry my PC timed out and lost the problem

Answer 23

but cn u hlp wth a nothr 1

Answer 24

no, you answer this one first.

\[7(6-x) = \]

Answer 25

\[a(b-c) = a*b - a*c\]\[7(6-x) = \]

Answer 26

42-7x

Answer 27

Very good. Okay, what's the other problem?

Answer 28

(w+9)7

Answer 29

Okay, we know that order doesn't matter for multiplication, so we can write that as
\[7(w+9)\]And in case it isn't intuitively obvious, that same distribution property we used before works here, too:
\[a(b+c) = a*b + a*c\]

\[(w+9)7 = 7(w+9) = \]

Answer 30

what does w equal

Answer 31

hello?

Answer 32

hello???

Answer 33

Hello!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 34

\(w = w\) — it doesn't matter what value it has. Follow the pattern.

\[7(w+9)\]\[a(b+c)\]
\[a(b+c) = a*b + a*c\]\[7(w+9) = \]
