The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{3c^7}{c^3} \)
\( \frac{3}{1} \) c^{(7 - 3)}
3c⁴

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{75mi}{75mph} \)
1 hour

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
