How to write an equation and use the distributive property .

Distributive Property

The distributive property states that when a factor is multiplied by the sum of two numbers, you can multiply each of the two numbers by that factor and then add them.

10(x + 2) = 45

Apply the distributive property to the left side of the equation by multiplying

two numbers inside the parentheses by 10

10(x) + 10(2) = 45

Now add them

10x + 20 = 45

Rearrange the like terms

10x = 45 -20

10x = 25

x = 25/10

x = 2.5

b. would be the answer : )

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: add -16x to both sides.

16x−4y+−16x=64+−16x  

−4y=−16x+64

step 2: divide both sides by -4.

−4y /-4 = -16x + 64/-4

answer:   y=4x−16
