Answer:

1. An odd number of the factors were negative

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 4 numbers, for example 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 and an odd number of them were negative so we could have two outcomes: -2 x 2 x 2 x 2 and -2 x -2 x -2 x 2 each in the end would get -16. Now -16 multiplied by -2 gets 32 which is positive.

John is at a local bait shop; he wants to buy bait for his fishing trip. At the store, they are selling live bait for $12 a poun

Monica [59]

The system of inequalities is: $x\geq 3$ and $12x+7y\leq 63$

Explanation

Let $x$ be the amount of live bait and $y$ be the amount of natural bait.

As John would like to get at least 3 pounds of live bait, so the first inequality will be: $x\geq 3$

Given that, price of live bait is $12 per pound and natural bait is $7 per pound. Also, he only has a budget of $63. That means, he can spend maximum $63

So, the cost for buying $x$ pound of live bait $=\$12x$ and the cost for buying $y$ pound of natural bait $=\$7y$

Thus, the second inequality will be: $12x+7y\leq 63$
