Answer:
To multiply two minus numbers they will result as a positive number.
the product of any numbers when there is a negtive will always have 2 negtives invlved form three numbers including the answer.
-4 x -1.5 is the same as 4 x 1.5
the answer is 6
Three numbers like -1 x 4 will also be 2 numbers of negative.
= -4
We change this to -4 x 1.5 and shows the answer as -6
But the question had 2 negative numbers already and the answer is just positive 6.
I'm thinking you would have to add the probabilities that you choose a boy with you choose someone in the science club minus a boy in the science club. You can't count these people twice.

Lets say w is the width of the flower bed. We can make an equation to find the area.
The length of the of the flower bed is (w+5) and the width is w.
To find the area we need to multiply the length(w+5) by the width(w) and set it equal to 84,
(w+5)(w)=84
w^2 +5w=84
Using the quadratic equation you get the solutions of 7 and -12. Since 7 is positive it is our width. Our length is 7+5 or 12.
