What does 8X mean when you are purchasing a computer?

Good question. It can mean a variety of things.

It could be referring to the speed of a CD or DVD drive, meaning how much faster than the original industry standard the drive spins.

Examples might be 16X read, 6X rewrite, 8X write.

It can also in the same manner refer to an AGP slots speed (4X AGP, 8X AGP)

if it appears as X8, it's likely referring to the number of channels of the PCIe slots. the most common PCIe slots are X1, X8 and X16.

Those are the most common uses, but without an actual context, I cannot say what YOUR 8X means.

For instance, if it's an ad that says "costs 8X less than a MAC" then obviously the meaning is different.

Can you use subtraction with the distributive property?

Wrong! See below.

No, you cannot use the distributive property for subtraction.

Let's say that your expression is:

(5 + 4) - 3

We know that parentheses must be handled first, so we know that the correct answer is:

(5 + 4) - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6.

But let's say that you tried to use the distributive propertyand applied "- 3" to each term in the parentheses. You would get:

(5 + 4) - 3 = (5 - 3) + (4 - 3) = 3

In fact, you would have subtracted not 3, but 6!

* * * * *

All very true except that this is the associative property - not distributive

The distributive property, which IS valid, gives a*(b - c) = a*b - a*c

I bumped my WD removable hard drive now I can't access it is there a way to restore the files in it?

Chances are you did more than just "bump it". Newer HDD's are very good with dealing with Motion and are reactive.

That said, if you hear clicking or scratching, the hard disks are probably getting ruined and it would be very expensive to get information off of the disks. (Companies that do recovery, transfer the platters to another enclosure to extract data, which requires a clean-room environment) There are many places that do it, but it won't be cheap:
