let's try the first one first. in order to do this, you will need to apply the distributive property

P2god1:

wym lol its the same thang

itsmehjay:

hm?

itsmehjay:

you sent 2 ss i'm just helping with the first one first

P2god1:

its jus dif photos in the same question

itsmehjay:

ohhh i see ok

itsmehjay:

well back to what i was saying-

itsmehjay:

the first answer choice shows a fraction. Since it's 1/2, we can think of it as half so what's half of 14? and what's half of 4?

itsmehjay:

since were finding the shaded part, we want to know whats half of the entire shape so what were looking for is what equation best fits that

itsmehjay:

so any idea which one it could be?

P2god1:

3

itsmehjay:

no, that's incorrect

itsmehjay:

let's solve it to find out

itsmehjay:

ok, let's put the entire shape together. we have a rectangle, right? the length is 4 and the width is 14. Find the area of the entire shape.

P2god1:

56*

itsmehjay:

ok great. but we're not looking for the area of the entire shape, we're looking for half of it. So all you need to do is divide 56 by 2.

P2god1:

28

itsmehjay:

ok, which equation shows you 28?

P2god1:

a

itsmehjay:

yup, because that's the exact steps we did, didn't we? good job c:
