Explain why a positive times a negative is a negative number.

Mathematics
1 answer:
prohojiy [21]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

This can be explained by thinking numbers on the number line as:

Lets take we have to multiply a positive number (say, 2) with a negative number say (-3)

<u>2×(-3)</u>

Suppose someone is standing at 0 on the number line and to go to cover -3 , the person moves 3 units in the left hand side. Since, we have to compute for 2×(-3), The person has to cover the same distance twice. At last, he will be standing at -6, which is a negative number.

A image is shown below to represent the same.

<u>Thus, a positive times a negative is a negative number.</u>

Answer:

Get rid of distractions that makes you procrastinate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Focus doing your practices. To focus, you need to get rid of any distractions that make you procrastinate.

As an example, if it's your phone/social media. Try to make it silent/put it away from you when you're going to do your practices. (recommended to give to parents or put in other room until you finish your works)

This is just my suggestion. It works for some people.

Find m∠ABD and m∠CBD given m∠ABC = 111∘.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

m∠ABD = 88º

m∠CBD = 23º

Step-by-step explanation:

(-10x + 58) + (6x + 41) = 111

Combine like terms

-4x + 99 = 111

Subtract 99 from both sides

-4x = 12

Divide both sides by -4

x = -3

------------------------

m∠ABD = -10x + 58

m∠ABD = -10(-3) + 58

m∠ABD =  = 30 + 58

m∠ABD = 88º

m∠CBD = 6x + 41

m∠CBD = 6(-3) + 41

m∠CBD = -18 + 41

m∠CBD = 23º
