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

. 3(x + 4) = 36

3x+12=36

3x=36-12

3x=24

x=8

Step-by-step explanation:

you would need to also lose 1 point for each of the other outcomes for it to be fair.

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

this can be solved first with pythagorean theorem, which tells us to square both legs of the triangle and sum it. this will be equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

the hypotenuse is the side "opposite" the 90 degree angle, which is x.

so we can write using pythagorean theorem,

simplifying:

to further simplify this radical, we need to use the property  

thus
