Multiplying positive numbers always comes out positive, no matter how many there are. So you can forget about the positive ones.
Every two negative numbers in a multiplication produce a positive.
Another way to say that is: If the number of negative ones is EVEN,
the answer is positive, and if it's ODD, the answer is negative.
That monster product of eight numbers in problem #12 will be negative,
because there are an odd amount of negative factors in it.
The first one because the slope is 2/1 and y-intercept is -4
Answer:
positive 3
Step-by-step explanation:
-8 + 11 is 3. the other way you can think of it is by subtracting 8 from 11.
0.4x + 3.9 = 5.78
1. Subtraction property of equality:
Subtract 3.9 from both sides of the equal sign:
0.4x = 1.88
2. division property of equality:
Divide both sides of the equal sign by 0.4:
X = 4.7
Answer:
y=400*x-500
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression that represents the problem is:
y=400*x-500
Function y represents earnings for one day.
400 is the fixed number that is charge for one hour work
x represents the number of hours that the technician has worked for one day
To find the total earnings you should multiply the fixed charge for one hour work (400) by the number of hours worked in a day.
Then you need to substract the cost of gasoline in a day, it is 500 and it is a constant in the equation since it doesn't depend on the number of hours worked.
So, the function is:
y=400*x-500
