The speed of light is 3 x 105 kilometers/second.
If the sun is 1.5x 108 kilometers from Earth, how many seconds does it take light to reach the Earth?
Several days
0.5 seconds
45000 seconds
8 minutes and 20 seconds

\[c = \frac{ d }{ t } \implies t = \frac{ d }{ c }\] c is the speed of light, d is the distance of the sun from the earth, you're solving for t here :)

agree with @iambatman

Simplify the expression
12(3 + x) – 4(5x – 6).
OpenStudy (lunymoony):
36 + 12x - 20x - 24
OpenStudy (lunymoony):
36 + 12x - 20x + 24
OpenStudy (lunymoony):
Oh, if I must ...
60 - 8x

You need to distribute meaning multiply through, as such |dw:1440221377149:dw| I think this may be more clear.
