Explain how the Distributive Property can be used to solve the equation. 3(x + 4) = 36.

a. Add 3 to each term inside the parentheses, then use inverse operations to solve.
b. Subtract 3 from each term inside the parentheses, then subtract 12 from both sides.
c. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by 3, then use inverse operations to solve.
d. Divide both terms inside the parentheses by 3, then subtract 12 from both sides.

d

step-by-step explanation:

in a an geometric explicit equation, the first number is the starting rate. in this case 10.

let x be the money she spent so that she can earn the free t-shirt.

since, she already spent $112.49

⇒

also, as per the statement: jennifer must spend $250 or more in order to qualify for a free t-shirt at the store.

then,

we have an inequality i.,e

subtract 112.49 from both sides we get;

therefore, $137. 51 more money does jennifer need to spend so that she can earn the free t-shirt

it is contrapositive

i could not see the question too well so check yourself again too . this is because i want you to get it correct.
