3(6x plus 8) =24 plus 18x
give a brief explanation as to what kind of solution(s) you expect the following linear equations to have. transform the equations into simpler form if necessary.
also, be specific and write it the way you would write on paper its ok if you need to use words like add subtract or plus

Taking algebra two apex courses and need with these questions

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?

Ahighway between points a and b has been closed for repairs. an alternative route between there two locations is to travel between a and c and then from c to b what is the value of y and what is the total distance from a to c to b?
