12 (–1.4m + 0.4) =

what would your answer be and how would u be able to find it?

Step-by-step explanation

u will use the distributive property...that means multiply the number outside the parenthesis by everything in the parenthesis to get rid of the parenthesis.

I will write this out step by step...

12(-1.4m + 0.4) =

12(-1.4m) + 12(0.4) =

-16.8m + 4.8 <=== thats all u can do because u cant add unlike terms...if that 4.8 had an m with it, then u could add them.

- 16.8m + 4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

12 (–1.4m + 0.4) =

the number before the parentheses is multiplied by the numbers in the parentheses

12 * 1.4m = (12 * 1.4)m = (16.8)m = 16.8m

so +12 * (-1.4m) = -16.8m

in the end, the answer is -16.8m+4.8

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
