Answer:
When you multiply an odd number of negatives you get a negative result. When you multiply an even number of negatives you get a positive result.
First, multiply normally.
25x10x5
1100
Then determine whether the sign is positive or negative. Since there is an odd number of negatives, the sign is negative.
So, the answer is -1100.

Answer:
Let Ishaan's age be x. Then, Christopher's age is x-20. These are their current ages.
14 years ago,
x-14 = 3(x-20-14) (we need to subtract 14 from both of their ages')
x - 14 = 3(x - 34)
x - 14 = 3x - 102
2x = 88
x = 44
Ishaan is 44 years old now.
Answer:
X=42
Step-by-step explanation:
AB and BC make a right angle
So, 24°+x+24° =90°
48°+x=90°
X=90°-48°
X=42
Answer:
3.7 million
Step-by-step explanation:
14,100,000 = 3,000,000 + 3p
3p = 11,100,000
p = 11,100,000 / 3
p = 3,700,000
Answer:
There's no direct variation
Step-by-step explanation:
Required
Determine if there's a direct variation between the number and its position
I'll start by giving an illustration of how the triangle is represented using stars (*)
*
**
***
****
*****
Represent the line number with y and it's position with x
On line 1:
y = 1, x = 1
On line 2:
y = 2, x = 3
On line 3:
y = 3, x = 6
On line 4:
y = 4, x = 10
On line 5:
y = 5, x = 15
Note that, x is gotten by calculating the accumulated number of stars while y is the line number.
Direct variation is represented by
y = kx
Or
kx = y
Where k is the constant of variation
For line 1:
Substitute 1 for y and 1 for x
k * 1 = 1
k = 1
For line 2:
Substitute 2 for y and 3 for x
k * 3 = 2
Divide through by 3
k = ⅔
Note that the values of k in both computations differ.
This implies that there's no direct variation and there's no need to check further.
