Why does it make sense that 4 x (-3) and -3 x 4 have the same product?

Answer:

hello!!!

We will learn it simple method,we know that multiplication of whole numbers is repeated addition. For example

3*4= 4+4+4

in this same way we can say that

[-12]=(-3)+(-3)+(-3)+(-3)

also,

4(*-3)=(-12)

for the second equation we can take it same as the above one

So it make no diffrence when we multiplied integers as (positive)*(negative) OR (NEGATIVE)*(POSITIVE)

And so now we can say

FOR ANY TWO POSITIVE INTEGER a and b WE CAN SAY

 (-a) *(b) = (-b)*(a) = -(a*b)

HOPE FULLY U MAY LIKED MY ANSWER GIVE POSITIVE FEEDBACK AND IF WANTS ANYTHING OTHER YOU MAY ASK ME IN COMMENT

What is the solution to the system of equations?
yarga [219]

Answer:

(2, - 4 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + 2y = - 6 → (1)

3x + y = 2 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in y

- 6x - 2y = - 4 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

- 5x = - 10 ( divide both sides by - 5 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (1)

2 + 2y = - 6 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

2y = - 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = - 4

Solution is (2, - 4 )

May someone tell me what the value of x is ?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

maybe 11? because it says to Subtract the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. The sum of all the angles of a triangle always equals 180 degrees. Write down the difference you found when subtracting the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. This is the value of X.
