Mr. Rijo bought 49 bags of soil one week and 28 bags of soil the next week. Write an expression that correctly applies the the distributive property to show two equivalent expressions for the number of bags of soil he bought. (hint: Find GCF to help apply distributive property)

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bags bought in one week = 49 bags

Number of bags bought the next week = 28 bags

Number of bags bought is

To express this using the distributive property, look for the greatest common factor of 49 and 28. Factor it out to get an expression.

Thus:

The factor 7 can go into 49 and 28. Factor out 7.

Therefore, we would have:

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9

1 number

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
