Which of the following represents the distributive property?
A) alb + c) = ab + ac
B) If a = b, then b= a
OC) If a = band b= c then a = 0
D) if a = b, then ac = bc

16

step-by-step explanation:

2 x 40 = 80

80/5

= 16

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
