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 does initial value mean?<br><br> (The topic matter is linear functions)
vagabundo [1.1K]
Initial value can mean many things, but what I believe it means in this area is the value that you start with (obviously), so in the equation (y=mx+b), the initial value is the b. It is where the line intercepts the y-axis, and that is your initial value, I believe!
I hope this was helpful and answered your inquiry! If you have any further doubts or questions, please let me know so that I can help you!

If you do this, you'll end up with the ratio:

240 : 150

This means that 240 adults attended whilst 150 children attended.

= (1302 - 7) ÷ 1302

= 1295 ÷ 1302

= 165 ÷ 186

= 0.9946

Hence, the probability of not winning is 0.9946
