Josh wants to simplify the expression (-8)(10+(-5)+(-8)). To get the fully simplified expression, Josh must multiply 10, -5, and -8 by some number and then add the resulting products. By what number must Josh Multiply?

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the expression (-8)(10-5-8), the -8 is right next to the (10-5-8), so the -8 would multiply the rest of the expression.

Some examples: 2(3)  = 2 × 3

6(2 + 4) = 6 × (2 + 4)

6(1 - 2(3)) = 6 × (1 - 2 × 3)

(-7)(9 - 4 - 7) = (-7) × (9 - 4 - 7)

p = 6s

step-by-step explanation:

yes, gavin is right.

step-by-step explanation:

gavin is correct. 

this problem is about converting 9% per year to how many percent per quarter. the rate is still the same. it only differed in the time period. so, through dimensional analysis,

9% per year  × (1 year / 4 quarters) = 2.25% per quarter

if he was asked to convert 9% per year to how many percent per quarter  compounded quarterly, then you will not simply divide by four. this is because compounding is not linear.

hope this , have a good day. c;
