Why does a negative number times a negative number equal a positive number?

1 answer:

6 0

Let's say good is a positive number and bad is a negative number. Think of it as this, if something bad happens (-2) to a bad guy (-2), that's good. -2 times -2 equals 4. If something good happens to a good guy, that's good. If something bad happens to a good guy, that's bad. If something good happens to a bad guy, that's bad. I know that can be confusing but that has always helped me to remember.

Set the two side lengths equal to each other.

38.4 = 5x - 10.6

Isolate the x. Add 10.6 to both sides

38.4 (+10.6) = 5x - 10.6 (+10.6)

5x = 49

Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides

5x/5 = 49/5

x = 49/5

x = 9.8

9.8 should be your answer
