The answer could be negative or positive. We are not given specific as to whether or not the starting number is positive or negative so therefore it could be either.
Hope this is helpful :)

<h2>SOLVING</h2>

\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{A. What is Asked}}

Billy thinks of a nonzero number. He multiplies it by 3. He gets...? 3 options given

\Large\maltese\underline{\textsf{This problem has been solved!}}

This problem does not give us the information about the starting number (we can't read Billy's mind).

First, I'm going to assume that the number is positive

\bf{A\;positive\;number\;multiplied\;by\;-3;\;yields\;a\;negative}

Next, I'll assume that Billy's number is a negative one.

\bf{The\;number\;is\;a\;positive\;one}.

\rule{300}{1.7}

\bf{Result:}

              \bf{=The\;answer\;could\;be\;either\;positive\;or\;negative.\;It\;depends\;on\;the\;sign}\\of\:the\:starting\:number.

A rectangle has a length of 80 units and a width of 39 units. Find the length of the diagonal.
levacccp [35]
Equation = a² + b² = c²

a = 80
b = 39
c = Diagonal

a² + b² = c²
80² + 39² = c²
6400 + 1521 = c²
   c² = 7921
   c  = √7921
   c  = 89

 Answer = 89 units

6x+12y+5+2y+8 what’s the coefficient of y and what’s the constant
Rudik [331]

The coefficient of y is 14 and the constant is 13.

You can find this by combining like terms first.

6x + 12y + 5 + 2y + 8

6x + 14y + 5 + 8

6x + 14y + 13

Now the coefficient is the number next to y. The constant is the number on its own.
