Answer:

The required linear equation is  m +  ( 3 m) = 24 : m = number of forks

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given question is INCOMPLETE.

Write a system of linear equation that represents this situation .

A drawer contains 24 spoons and forks. There are three times as many spoons as forks.

Now, according to the given question:

Let us assume the number of forks  = m

So, the number of spoons  = 3 x ( Number of forks ) = 3 x (m)  = 3 m

Now, Number of Spoons  + Number of forks  = 24

⇒ m +  ( 3 m) = 24

Hence the required linear equation is  m +  ( 3 m) = 24

here : m = number of forks

What product is positive ?​
s344n2d4d5 [400]
<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

=======================================================

Explanation:

The long way to do this is to multiply all the fractions out by hand, or use a calculator to make shorter work of this.

The shortest way is to simply count how many negative signs each expression has.

The rule is: if there are an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive. Otherwise, the product is negative.

For choice A, we have 3 negative signs. The result (whatever number it is) is negative. Choice B is a similar story. Choice C is also negative because we have 1 negative sign. Choices A through C have an odd number of negative signs.

Only choice D has an even number of negative signs. The two negatives multiply to cancel to a positive. The negative is like undoing the positive. So two negatives just undo each other. This is why the multiplied version of choice D will be some positive number.

Or you can think of it as opposites. If you are looking up (positive direction) and say "do the opposite" then you must look down (negative direction). Then if you say "do the opposite", then you must look back up in the positive direction.
