Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the expression:

And we want to find its sign given that a>0 and b<0.
Notice that the expression is already negative since we have -4.
a>0 means that a is positive. Therefore, we can ignore it since it won’t do anything.
b<0 means that b is negative. Therefore, we will have two negatives being multiplied together. Hence, this will make a positive.
Therefore, the sign of our expression will be positive.
We can see this with an example. Let a=1 (1>0) and let b=-1 (-1<0). Then:

So, the sign is positive.
Hence, the answer is A.
Answer:
m = 10/3
<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>
<em />
Step-by-step explanation:
5m - 8 = 2m + 2
5m - 8 = 2m + 2
- 2m - 2m <em>(make all "m" on one side to isolate variable)</em>
3m - 8 = 2
+ 8 + 8 <em>(get m entirely on 1 side)</em>
3m = 10
÷3 ÷3 <em>(divide by 3 to get 1m)</em>
m = 10/3
<em>(as a decimal: m = 3.333...)</em>

hope this helps!! have a lovely day :)
A negative times a negative is a positive. I am not sure if that's the question, but hopefully that helps if it was.
If you think about it, a hexagon can be cut into 6 equilateral triangles. Because of this, all you need to do is find the area of one triangle and multiply it by 6. Since the side length of one triangle is 12, we know that is the base. Since the triangles that are created when cutting the equilateral triangle in half are both 30 60 90, the height must be 6(3)^1/3. We can then multiply 12 • 6 radical 3 •1/2 to get 36 radical 3. Multiply this by 6 and get 216 radical 3 units squared.

=12.5+10.6+9.5=32.6inches
