Use the distributive property to complete the following statement 4(x-1)=

a. 4

b. –4

c. –1

d. 1

 The correct option is (A) 4.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to use the distributive property to complete the following statement :

Distributive property :  If a, b and c are any three real numbers, then the distributive property says that

(i) a(b + c) = ab + ac,

(ii) (a + b)c = ac + bc.

Therefore, for the given statement, we have

Thus, the correct option is (A) 4.

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
