Does Each Equation Demonstrate The Distributive Property? Explain. 1) -2( x + 1 ) = -2x -2
2) (s - 4) 8 = 8 ( s - 4)
3) 5n - 45 = 5 ( n - 9 )
4) 8 + ( t + 6) = ( 8 + t ) + 6

All of them demonstrate the distributive property, except for number 4. 1-3 all have a number on the outside of the parenthesis to distribute itself to the number and variable within the parenthesis, while #4 has a plus sign outside each pair of parenthesis, making you unable to distribute those numbers.

x > 1.3

step by step:

8.5−0.9x> 9.8−1.9x

step 1: simplify both sides of the inequality.

−0.9x+8.5> −1.9x+9.8

step 2: add 1.9x to both sides.

−0.9x+8.5+1.9x> −1.9x+9.8+1.9x

1x+8.5> 9.8

step 3: subtract 8.5 from both sides.

1x+8.5−8.5> 9.8−8.5

1x> 1.3

step 4: divide both sides by 1.

1x/1 > 1.3/1
