Your baseball team has 16 players. use the distributive property to write and simplify an expression for the total cost of buying the items shown for all the players.

I think the answer is TC = 16 * cost of buying of 1 item

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is , because this express the total cost of all players.

We know that there are 16 players, and each of them have to spend $12 for a Jersey, $4 for a pair of socks and $x for a hat. So, to express this mathematically, we have to sum this three costs sixteen times. However, if we consider the operation of multiplications and the distributive property, we can summarize the procedure.

Then, the expression would be:

Because, we have to multiply the total player (16) to the total cost (12+4+x).

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

12 dolars one is cheaper becasue 3 pairs is 6 means is sock is 2 while the 12 is cheaper
