Which of the following statements correctly uses the distributive property? -2(15 - 3) = -2(15) + (-2)(3)
7(9 - 8) = 7(9) - 8
9(-7 + 6) = 9(-7) + 9(6)
-3(12 + 5) = -3(12) - (-3)(5)

Multiply the number outside the parentheses by each number inside.

Remember a negative x a negative becomes positive. A negative x a positive is negative.

The correct one is 9(-7 + 6) = 9(-7) + 9(6)

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
