Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

a x (b+c) = ab + ac

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

3*$0.40 + 5*$0.40 = (3+5)*$0.40

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
