The other factor is eight because 9 multiplied by eight is 72 and a negative times a positive is a negative
Answer:
63
Step-by-step explanation:

divide, 27 ÷ 3
you'll get 9, so
x = 9
Next part
5y = 35
divide both sides by 5 to isolate y,
5y ÷ 5 = 35 ÷ 5
=
y = 7
So
x = 9 and y = 7
Then let's add the numbers to our equation ( x × y)
9 × 7
=
63
Answer:
It is possible, because the two shortest sides have to add up to be more than the longest side, and 8 + 12 = 20, which is more than the longest side of 17.
So yes, I agree with Bear.
