Break apart and distribute to solve 72÷8
72÷8=(40÷8)+(32÷8)
9=5+4
9=9

72 ÷ 8 is equal to 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to solve 72 ÷ 8 by breaking apart and distributing, the first step is to write the number ''72'' as the sum or subtraction of two numbers that are divisible by ''8''.

We can write :

If we replace this last expression in the original one :

72 ÷ 8 = (40 + 32) ÷ 8 (II)

Now in (II) we can use the distributive property of the division :

(40 + 32) ÷ 8 = (40 ÷ 8) + (32 ÷ 8) (III)

Finally, we need to solve the expression (III) :

(40 ÷ 8) + (32 ÷ 8) = 5 + 4 = 9

We find that 72 ÷ 8 is 9 by breaking apart and then distributing.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
