In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25
in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1
in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.
5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10
Answer:
15 times the first equation and -12 times the second equation
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
------> first equation
------> second equation
Multiply the first equation by 15 both sides

-----> new first equation
Multiply the second equation by -12 both sides

-----> new second equation
Adds the two new equations

ANSWER
The vertex is (-2,1)
EXPLANATION
We want to find the vertex of

We complete the square to obtain,

The first three terms forms a perfect square trinomial.

The vertex form is

This equation is in the form;

where (h,k)=(-2,1) is the vertex.
