Are you trying to solve for what number goes in the blank space?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Idk
OpenStudy (kamibug):
Let's assume so. :P
We can replace the blank space with a variable. Let's use the letter b.
54*46 = 54*6 + 40b
First simplify the left side. What's 54*46?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
324
OpenStudy (kamibug):
That's 54*6, so now we have...
54*46 = 324 + 40b
How about 54*46? :)

2484
OpenStudy (nerdgirl):
will one of you guys help me with my problem when your done?
OpenStudy (kamibug):
Right!
2484 = 324 + 40b
Now we'll combine like terms by subtracting 324 from both sides.
2484 - 324 = 324-324 + 40b
2484 - 324 = 0 + 40b
2484 - 324 = 40b
What's 2484 - 324? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2160
OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk
OpenStudy (kamibug):
Perfect. So the last step to solve for b is to divide both sides by 40. :]
2160/40 = b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk what that is
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk the answer
OpenStudy (kamibug):
What's 2160 divided by 40? The quotient will be your answer.
