Both claims are false. In fact,
and
are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that

So, it doesn't matter if
is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,

Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:
So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.
53/100 ÷ 5 can be reduced down to

Answer:
x = (+ - ) 9
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 = 81
u know how u can sometimes cancel something out by doing the opposite.
This is one of those times as well. the opposite of ^2 = square root.
so if we take the square root of both sides, this will cancel out the^2 on the left side.
sqrt (x^2) = sqrt(81)
x = (+-) 9.....thats a positive and a negative sign...because the sqrt of 81 is both 9 and -9.
Answer:
15.25 or 15 if you need it to be rounded.
Step-by-step explanation:
-11 on both sides to get 5x=1x+61. Then, -1x on both sides to get 4x=61. Then to find x you do 61 divided by 4 which is 15.25.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
use a proportion
( 3/4 ) / 1 1/8 = ( 4/4) / x teaspoons
x = 1.5
