Which of the following uses the distributive property to determine the product 12(185) question 6 options: a) 12(100) + 12(13) b) 12(18) + 12(5) c) 12(1) + 12(8) + 12(5) d) 12(100) + 12(80) + 12(5)

d) 12(100) + 12(80) + 12(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the distributive property, if a,b, c, and d are real numbers, then

a(b+c+d)=ab+ac+ad

We want to find the product 12(185).

We can expand 185 as 100+80+5

Our product then becomes;

We expand using the distributive property to get;

The correct choice is D

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
