Which steps will generate an expression equivalent to 20(x + 17)?

clear check

add x and 17 to get 17x, and then multiply that by 20.

multiply 20 by x and then add 17.

multiply each term in the parentheses by 20 and then add the products.

add x to the product of 20 and 17.

where is the diagram? shown below where? ?

step-by-step explanation:

< xcy ≅ < xby

step-by-step explanation:

in δcax and δbax,

so, δcax ≅ δbax (side-angle-side or sas)

since δcax ≅ δbax, we can conclude < acx ≅ < abx

in δacy and δaby,

so, δacy ≅ δaby (side-angle-side or sas)

since δacy ≅ δaby, we can conclude < acy ≅ < aby

now,

< acy ≅ < aby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < abx + < xby

=> < acx + < xcy ≅ < acx + < xby   (since < acx ≅ < abx already proved above)

subtracting < acx from both sides, we get

< acx + < xcy -< acx ≅ < acx + < xby -< acx

cancelling out < acx and -< acx from both sides, we get

< xcy ≅ < xby (proved)

i'm assuming that it's c.)   volcanoes built the mountains and earthquakes tore them down.
