Use the distributive property to write each expression then evaluate it 7(7-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtract -9 from positive 7 you get -2

Then you multiply the positive 7 from that -2 and your answer will be

-14

Here is an example

7(7-9) ALWAYS do the parenthesis first

7*-2

-14

6.27

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to obtain the standard deviation of the given values :

{24, 18, 31,25, 34}

The standard deviation = √(Σ(x - mean)²/ n)

The mean = (ΣX) /n

Using calculator to save computation time :

The standard deviation, s = 6.27 (2 decimal places)
