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.

30 units^2

step-by-step explanation:

area is l × w

the length is 3

and the width is 10

3 × 10= 30 units squared

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
