For your birthday you go to the movies with three friends. you buy 4 boxes of popcorn, one for you and one for each of your friends. the tickets cost $5.75 each and the popcorn costs $4.25 per box. the total cost can be expressed by (4 • 5.75) + (4 • 4.25). rewrite this expression using the distributive property and then solve. explain why using the distributive property makes finding the total easier. show your work.

(4 • 5.75) + (4 • 4.25) = 4(5.75 + 4.25)

4(5.75 + 4.25) = (4 • 5.75) + (4 • 4.25) = 23 + 17 = 40

Why using the distributive property makes finding the total easier?

Using the distributive property allows us to solve two simpler multiplication problems.

idk do it yourself or ask somebody idk stop going online asking for

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
