Follow the steps below to choose an equivalent expression for 15n – 20 using the distributive property. Use the work below to help you. 1. Find the GCF of the terms.

The GCF of 15n and 20 is 5.

2. To factor out the GCF, divide each term in the expression by the GCF.

15n ÷ 5 = 3n and 20 ÷ 5 = 4

Which expression is equivalent to 15n – 20?
2(8n – 6)
6(2n – 9)
5(3n – 4)
5(4n – 3)

PLS HELP M

5(3n - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The GCF of 15 and 20 is 5, so 5 is on the outside of the parentheses. 15/5 = 3, so the term is 3n. 20/5 = 4, so the other term is 4. Put it all together and you have 5(3n - 4)

5(3n - 4)

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
