Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation. - 8(x + 7) = 16
Apply the Distributive Property and simplify.
- 8(x + 7) = 16
- 8x + = 16

x= - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

- 8(x +7) = 16-8x - 56 = 16 -8x = 16 + 56-8x = 72x = 72 ÷ (-8) x = -9

If i think this is what your asking, he should look at the grams or pounds/ounces and compare the to their cost then max can identify which one is proportional and which is not ( i think xd)
