Which property yields step 2 in the following problem? step 1: 12(x+4) step 2: 12x + 48

Distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

12(x+4)

We would use the Distributive property to get to

12x+48

Distributive Property

x(a+b) = ax + bx

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
