Answer:
See explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The distibutive property states that for all real numbers a, b and c

Draw a rectangle with length of (a+b) units and width of c units. The area of this rectangle is

Divide this rectangle into two rectangles: first rectangle with the length of a units and the width of c units and the second rectangle with the length of b units and the width of c units. The area of these rectangles are

These two rectangles together form initial rectangle, so the sum of the area of two smaller rectangles is the area of the bigger rectangle.
Answer:
(x, y) = (0, 1/2) or (1, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The first equation factors as ...
x(3x -y) = 0
This has solutions x=0 and y=3x.
__
<u>x = 0</u>
Using this in the second equation gives ...
2y -0 = 1
y = 1/2
(x, y) = (0, 1/2) is a solution
__
<u>y = 3x</u>
Using the expression for y in the second equation, we get ...
2(3x) -5x = 1
x = 1 . . . . . . . . . simplify
y = 3x = 3 . . . . using x=1 in the first equation
(x, y) = (1, 3) is a solution
_____
Interestingly, the (red line) graph of 3x^2 -xy = 0 produced by this graphing calculator has a "hole" at x=0, It says that point is (0, undefined). In a sense, y is undefined, in that it can be <em>anything</em>. A more appropriate graph would graph that equation as the two lines x=0 and y=3x.
Answer:
This question contains some errors; the correct question is:
You pack sandwiches for a mountain hike with your friends. Each sandwich takes 2 slices of bread, and each hiker eats one sandwich. How many slices of bread are used for n hikers? Write your answer as an expression.
The answer is:
(2n) slices of bread for n hikers
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question, sandwiches packed for a mountain hike with friends is made of two (2) slices of bread.
Each hiker gets one sandwich
This, n hikers will get n× 1 sandwich
= (n) sandwiches.
If 1 sandwich contains 2 slices of bread, then (n) sandwiches for n hikers will contain:
(2 × n) slices of bread
That is, (2n) slices of bread.
The expression is (2n).
