Which of the following statements correctly uses the distributive property? -2(15 - 3) = -2(15) + (-2)(3)
7(9 - 8) = 7(9) - 8
9(-7 + 6) = 9(-7) + 9(6)
-3(12 + 5) = -3(12) - (-3)(5)

Multiply the number outside the parentheses by each number inside.

Remember a negative x a negative becomes positive. A negative x a positive is negative.

The correct one is 9(-7 + 6) = 9(-7) + 9(6)

the solution is x=1

step-by-step explanation:

we are given our   equation as

let's assume

left side function is

right side function is

now, we can draw graph

and then we can get intersection point

the intersection point will be solution

so, the solution is

x=1
