Which of the following properties is necessary to simplify the expression given below? (–2) + 5(x – 3) – 4x(6 + 1)
a. associative property
b. commutative property
c. distributive property
d. identity property

Property necessary to simplify the expression (–2) + 5(x – 3) – 4x(6 + 1)   is:

C. distributive property

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to simplify the expression:

(–2) + 5(x – 3) – 4x(6 + 1)

for solving this expression, we have to first distribute 5 to x and -3 and 4x to 6 and 1

Then only we can solve the above expression.

Hence, property necessary to simplify the expression

(–2) + 5(x – 3) – 4x(6 + 1)   is:

C. distributive property

$18 was the price of the t-shirt

step-by-step explanation:

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x
