The pictures confused me, can you explain them please?
I think that the answer is A, because in the range, none of the numbers should be the same, and the numbers are all different in choice A
The answer is r=-3. You use the distributive property which is basically multiplying -8 with all the numbers inside the parenthesis. So -8 x r and -8 x -2. This results to -8r+16=40 (Two negative numbers multiplied together will form a positive number). We use inverse operations to subtract 16 from both sides. 16-16 is 0 and 40-16 is 24. So we are left with -8r=24. We want to be left with only r, so we once again use inverse operations to divide -8 from both sides. -8/-8 is 1, and 24/-8 is -3. So we end up with r=-3. Hope this helped :]
210 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to figure out how many pieces a single machine can cut in a minute, so you need to divide 105 by 3, which gets you 35 pieces per minute.
Next, since we know there are 6 machines, and one machine canncut 35 pieces per minute, we can the figure out how many pieces all 6 cutting machines can cut in 1 minute. You would do this by making an equation such as this:

The x represents the total number of pieces cut by all 6 machines in one minute.
Next, since we now have an equation, we can go ahead and solve it. We would multiply 35 by 6, which would get us 210 pieces per minute that can be cut by all six machines
If you need to find x. The answer is x=1/-2. Hope this helps!
