Answer: 7 pigeons sitting on the branches, 5 pigeons under the tree
=12 in total
Step-by-step explanation:
Upper branch has x pigeons, lower has y.
Top branch said: "If one of you flies up to us our number will be double yours":
Well, if one of the bottom branch flies up, the top branch will have x+1 birds and the bottom will have (y−1). The top will have double the bottom, so:
x+1=2(y−1)
Top branch said: "If one of us flies down to you, our numbers will be equal":
Now, the top branch will have x−1 and the bottom y+1. The numbers should be equal:
x−1=y+1

The equation that best represents the total earnings for the salesman is letter c which is e=40,000+200 xc
It is because, in order to get the full earnings, you have to add the base salary to the commission that the salesman receives. Whereas, the $40,000 is attached to the commission where the $200 is multiplied to c (every car the salesman sells
Explanation:
This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:
Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)
<u>2×(-3)</u>
Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.
A image is shown below to represent the same.
<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>
