Question

@Ghostgate @JoeDeWise @rebeccaxhawaii
Can you help me with five questions on "The Distributive Property"
I will medal! Please help!

Answer 1

yes post

Answer 2

Which are the questions

Answer 3

example: 2*(4+5+6) = 2*4 + 2 * 5 + 2 * 6.

Answer 4

okay so first multiply 2 by 4, 5, and 6

Answer 5

The first question is:
Which expression is equivalent to this one?
–5(6 + 11)

A. (–5) · 6 + 11
B. (–5) + 6 + 11
C. (–5) · 6 · 11
D. (–5) · 6 + (–5) · 11 This one?

Answer 6

so 8+10+12= 8+10+ 12

Answer 7

? = ? is that all

Answer 8

yes D is correct

Answer 9

Next Question:
What is the solution to the equation?
(3 + 7) = 4 · x + 4 · 7

A. x = 3 This one?
B. x = 4
C. x = 7
D. x = 10

Answer 10

okay well lets parenthesis first so 10= 4 times x +4 times 7

Answer 11

So it's ten?

Answer 12

no because x isnt isolated

Answer 13

Okay. Now I am getting confused. What would it be?

Answer 14

okay look so P.E.M.D.A.S parenthesis then exponents then multiplication and/or division the addition and/or subtation

Answer 15

so thats why we got 10

Answer 16

\[10=4 \times x + 4 \times 7\]

Answer 17

then multiply is next up

Answer 18

so 10= 4x+28

Answer 19

you are trying to get x by itself

Answer 20

so move everything else on the other side of the equal sign

Answer 21

so 10-28=4x the 28 was moved to the other side therefore you need to change the sign so it was positive now its negative

Answer 22

@Ghostgate @JoeDeWise What do you think?

Answer 23

I think that right.

Answer 24

is

Answer 25

are u saying i dont know how to do it

Answer 26

No, not at all. I was just saying that I was trying to get another opinion because I am not understanding what you are trying to say.
Nothing personal.

Answer 27

Problem 1 is D, like rebeccaxhawaii claimed, however:
Problem 2: When I do the Math and distribute I come out with -4.5, which allows 10 and 10 to equal, but... the current problem isn't like that.

Answer 28

Please keep this in mind I am in the 7th grade so I have not learned how you guys are doing it.

Answer 29

Basically rebeccaxhawaii did the Math, however worded it in a more confusing manner.

Answer 30

well thats how i learned it so

Answer 31

thats how ill explain it

Answer 32

@rebeccaxhawaii I understand that. Everybody learns a different way.
No hard feelings?

Answer 33

Anyhow, based off of the problem I don't know where the fours come from on the right, I understand where the '7' comes from, my guess is that '3' is the answer, however originally if you were to solve it algebraically(I believe) then your answer would be -4.5.

Answer 34

lol stop trying to make it sound more complicated

Answer 35

Anyhow, like I stated I believe 3 is the answer.

Answer 36

Okay, thanks! I will submit it when I am done and let you know what happens.
Next Question:
Rewrite the expression by using grouping symbols.
1/2 * 4 + 1/2 *z

A. 4(1/2 + z)
B. z(1/2 * 4)
C. 1/2 * (4 + 1/2) * z Is it this one?
D. 1/2(4 + z)

Answer 37

c would be correct

Answer 38

Yeah I agree. C. is the answer.

Answer 39

Ok. Thanks!
4th Question:
Which expression is equivalent to this one?
1/6(x - 18)

A. 1/6x - 18 I am guessing this one?
B. 1/6x * (-18)
C. 1/6x - 3
D. 1/6 + x - 18

5th Question:
Evaluate this expression without using a calculator:
8 * 63

A. 489
B. 494
C. 504 This one.
D. 683

Answer 40

yes both are correct

Answer 41

Okay. Thanks! I am going to submit it and tell what I get. Then I am going to medal.
