Which property justifies the fact that
5(x - 2) is equivalent to 5x - 10?
commutative
distributive
associative
identity

Ibelieve a is the correct answer because 3 is the y-intercept you can see it from the graph. so from here the answers could only be a and c. they are differently at the sign.substitute x with 1so the equation for a is 3*(1.4)^x3*(1.4)^1 = 4.2look back at the graph it is true that when x= 1 y= 4.2if you use equation from c. when x= 1 then y will be negative number which is falseso correct answer is a

Best answer that i found on yahoo ok   set :   x= length of 2nd piece in cm  x- 3= length of 1st piece in cm  x-4= length of 3rd piece in cm  then since you know they all came from the 20 cm ribbon you add them together and set them equal to 20x+ x-3 +x-4 = 20  3x - 7= 20  3x= 27  x= 9  the shortest piece is the third piece which is x- 4  x-4  9-4 = 5  the length of the smallest piece is 5 cm.  the other lengths are  9 cm  6 cm
