Explain how the Distributive Property can be used to expand the expression on the left side of the equation. 3(x + 4) = 36.

Respuesta :

Hello!

Answer:

x=8

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, you divide by 3 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]\frac{3(x+4)}{3}=\frac{36}{3}[/tex]

And then, you simplify. Then you can also divide by the numbers too.

[tex]36/3=12[/tex]

[tex]x+4=12[/tex]

Next, you subtract by 4 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]x+4-4=12-4[/tex]

And finally, simplify and solve. You subtract by the numbers.

[tex]12-4=8[/tex]

Final answer: → [tex]x=8[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
