Use the distributive property to remove the parentheses. 1. 3(8 + x)
2. 7(v - 2)
3. 3(v - 9)

1. 24 + x

2. 7v - 14

3. 3v - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property means that you go through something by either multiplying or dividing by whatever may be in the parentheses.

1. For one you would multiply the 3 through. 3 x 8 + 3x which can be simplified into 24 + 3x.

2. For two you would multiply the 7 through. 7v - 7 x 2, which can be simplified into 7v - 14.

3. For three you would multiply the 3 through. 3v - 3 x 9, which can be simplified into 3v - 27

Hope this helps!

Please tell me if I am incorrect I enjoy learning from my mistakes!

Good luck!

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
