Answer: a. Positive, because the products (3)(-3) and (-2)(4) are negative, and the product of two negative numbers is positive
Step-by-step explanation: It is also possible to rearrange the factors.
(3)(4) = 12 a positive number.
(-3)(-2) = 6, a positive number. Again "a negative times a negative is a positive" --Jaime Escalante, <em>Stand and Deliver</em>
Now you have two positive numbers: 12×6 = 72
The product is positive either way.
Answer: I not super sure, but I think you are supposed to put the equations on each side of the table. Your end result should be 2x to the second -5x-3.
Step-by-step explanation:
58300 - 8300 - 12750 - 22400 = 14850
We take the total profit (58300) and subtract the value of all 3 contracts to see what is left over. That remaining amount (14850) is the final contract.
