Emma wants to use the distributive property to solve this equation. 5(x-2)=30 her follow these steps to finish solving for x. 1. distributive property: 5x-10=30 2. addition property of equality: 5x=40 3 dividion property of equality: x=?

The property states that you can divide both sides of an equation by the same number (of course it can't be zero). So, since we want to solve for , but the equation involves , if we divided both sides by we would isolate . In fact, the equation becomes

And we have solved the equation, because we found the correct value of .

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
