Complete question:

Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) # ( - 1 ) is 6 . 11. After a recycling awareness program, the number of tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill is reduced by 13 7/10 tons per month. Represent the total change in the tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill after 7 months resulting from the awareness program a. What is the correct product? 10 month. Represent the total change in the b. What was Kyle's likely error?

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) ( - 1 ) is 6

-(-6)(-1) = 6 [incorrect]

Correction:

-(-6) (-1) :

- (-6) = 6

6 (-1) = - 6

Given that reduction in materials = 13 7/10 tons per month

Monthly reduction = 13 7/10 = 137/10 tons

After 7 months : (7 * 137/10) = 959/10 tons = 95.9 tons

Change in amount of material taken to the land fill:

Initial amount - amount after 7 months

If initial amount = x

Change in amonnt = (x - 95.9) tons
