Find the product of 51 and -2.5. Use the distributive property to rewrite and solve.

The first step is done for you.

51(-2.0) + 51(-0.5)

What is the next step in using the distributive property to solve this equation?
A) -102 + 25.5
B) 102 + (-25.5)
C) -102 + (-25.5)
D) -102 + (-25)

A. -102 + 25.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

After multiplying 51 by -2.0, you will get -102. When multiplying 51 by -0.5, you get 25.5. A is the next step in this equation. (Optional read this when this is also in your quiz. -102 + 25.5 = 127.5).

hope this helped.

a = 3.14

b = 18

c = 18/5 or 3.6 or 3 3/5

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
