Acouch weighs approximately 100 pounds. if 40,000 couches are sent to furniture stores, what is the total weight in pounds of the couches? a) 400,000 b) 4,000,000 c) 40,000,000 d) 400,000,000 23) which property explains how we get the equation shown in step 2? given: -5(x -4) - 20 = -15 step 1: -5x + 20 -20 = -15 (distributive) step 2: -5x = -15 step 3: x = 3 (multiplicative inverse) a) associative b) commutative c) additive inverse d) multiplicative identity 24) simplify. 7x + 3(x - 2) - 4x + 8 a) 6x + 2 b) 6x + 14 c) 6x - 2 d) 14x + 2 25) according to the distributive property, a(5 + b) = a) 5a + b b) 5a + ab c) a(b + 5) d) 5(a + b)
