A.use the distributive property to write an expression that is equivalent -3(x + - 8)

if the coefficient of the variable is increased by 10, what would the new expression be after you apply the distributive property?

To use the distributive property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by -3.

The original expression is -3(x + -8).

Using the distributive property, we can multiply -3 by each term inside the parentheses:
-3(x) + -3(-8)

Simplifying, we have:
-3x + 24

Now, if we increase the coefficient "-3" by 10, it becomes "-3 + 10", which is equal to 7.

Therefore, the new expression after applying the distributive property with the increased coefficient is:
7x + 24.

To use the distributive property, we need to distribute the -3 to both terms within the parentheses, which are (x) and (-8).

First, let's distribute the -3 to x:

-3(x) = -3x

Next, let's distribute the -3 to -8:

-3(-8) = 24

Now let's combine these results to rewrite the expression using the distributive property:

-3(x + -8) = -3x + 24

To find the new expression after increasing the coefficient of the variable (x) by 10, we simply add 10 to the coefficient. Therefore, the new coefficient of x would be -3 + 10 = 7.

Replacing the coefficient in the original expression, the new expression with the increased coefficient would be:

7(x + -8)

So, the final new expression, after applying the distributive property and increasing the coefficient, would be 7(x) + 7(-8) = 7x - 56.
