The following steps are used to rewrite the polynomial expression, 3(x + 4y) + 5(2x - y).
step 1: (3x + 12y) + (10x - 5y)
step 2: (3x + 12y) + (-5y + 10x)
step 3: 3x + (12y-5y) + 10x
step 4: 3x + 10x + (12y - 5y)
step 5: 13x + 7y
identify the property used in each of the steps:
step 1:

i love jeffery and believe there is truth in tati and james' answers

step-by-step explanation:

you are playing an adventure game on your computer. you come across a troll who won't let you pass and there is no other way to get to the other side of the river except over the bridge he is guarding.

the troll is a nerd. he takes great delight in watching people struggle with his problems. very few get them. he only gives you one chance and then he changes the puzzle. you have to solve this one.

before you are four blocks. they are numbered 11,6, -7,21.

he tells that the answer he wants is minus and between -1 and - 2. you can use +, -, ×, ÷   ( and ) as many times as you like or no times at all. you don't like the way he's looking at you, but you need to cross the bridge. what do you do?

josh is incorrect

x= 7 and x= -1

step 2 is wrong and honestly first step is not needed, you just need to figure out the factors

i know its wrong because if you plug in the solutions josh found, they do not work (in the original equation)

x^2 -6x -7 = 0

(x-7) (x+1) = 0

x-7=0 x+1=0

x= 7 x= -1
