distributive property - Property stating you can multiply a sum by multiplying each addend separately and then add the products
Formula: a(b + c) = ab + ac
A=2(l+w) for wMultiply through using the distributive property, so we have:
A = 2l + 2w
Subtract 2l from each side
2w = A - 2l
Divide each side by w
w = (A - 2l)/2

* Determine if the numbers are coprime and twin prime
M is the midpoint of AB. Prove AB = 2AMM is the midpoint of AB. Prove AB = 2AM
M is the midpoint of AB (Given)
AM = MB (Definition of Congruent Segments)
AM + MB = AB (Segment Addition Postulate)
AM + AM = AB (Substitution Property of Equality)
2AM = AB (Distributive property)

Twice the sum of a number and 6 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 3. Find the[SIZE=6]Twice the sum of a number and 6 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 3. Find the number.
The phrase [/SIZE][I][SIZE=7]a number[/SIZE][/I][SIZE=6] means an arbitrary variable, let's call it x.
The sum of a number and 6 means we add 6 to x:
x + 6
Twice the sum of a number and 6 means we multiply x + 6 by 2:
2(x + 6)
the difference of the number and 3 means we subtract 3 from x
x - 3
three times the difference of the number and 3 means we multiply x - 3 by 3:
3(x- 3)
The word [I]is[/I] means we set 2(x + 6) equal to 3(x - 3)
2(x + 6) = 3(x - 3)
Use the distributive property to multiply through:
2x + 12 = 3x - 9
Subtract 2x from each side:
2x - 2x + 12 = 3x - 2x - 9
x - 9 = 12
Add 9 to each side:
x - 9 + 9 = 12 + 9
x = [B]21[/B]
