Solve for p. 2(p+ 5) = 16

solve for t. -3(t + 1) = 18

solve for x -2/5 (x+10)=-10

solve for x. 2/3 (x -10)=-2

1)

2)

3)

4)

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Apply distributive property:

Subtract 10 from both sides of the equation and then divide both sides by 2:

2) Apply distributive property:

Add 3 to both sides of the equation and then divide both sides by -3:

 3) Apply distributive property:

Add 4 to both sides of the equation:

Multiply both sides by :

4) Apply distributive property:

 Add to both sides of the equation:

Multiply both sides by :

The answers are:

1

2

3

4

To know the solution of the problems, we need to isolate each variable.

Remember that:

-  If we have  an equality:  if the number is part of a product , and if you need to move it to the other side of the equality, the same number will be dividing the factors of the side.

- If we have an equality: if the number is subtracting (negative sign), and if you need to move it to the other side of the equality, its sign changes to positive.

- If we have an equality: if the number is adding (positive sign), and if you need to move it to the other side of the equality, its sign changes to negative.

- The distributive property states that:

So,

1 - Solving for p

2 - Solving for t

3 - Solving for x

4 - Solving for x

Have a nice day!

$30.32

step-by-step explanation:

65.00*.12=2.80

65.00-2.80=57.20

57.20*1.06=60.632

60.632/2=30.316
