True/false: the following equation is an example of distributive property 42+22+56+11=131

△cde maps to △stu with the transformations (x, y) arrowright (x − 2, y − 2) arrowright (3x, 3y) arrowright (x, −y). if cd = a + 1, de = 2a − 1, st = 2b + 3 and tu = b + 6, find the values of a and b. the value of a is and the value of b is .

This is so hard and it’s for a test

Simplify. (-2)^-3 a. -8 b. -1/8 c. 1/8 d. 8
