Answer:

Both conclusions are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Ivan: The product of an even number of negative fractions is always positive.

When even numbers of same negative fractions are multiplied together, the product is positive.

For instance: -1 × -1

Since the total numbers to be multiplied are even (two -1), the product becomes +1

Ivan's conclusion is correct.

Polina: The product of an odd number of negative fractions is always negative.

When odd numbers of same negative fractions are multiplied together, the product is negative.

For instance: -1 × -1 × -1 × -1 ×-1

Since the total numbers to be multiplied are odd (five -1), the product becomes -1

(-1 × -1) × (-1 × -1) ×-1

= +1 × +1 × -1

The multiplication of same sign gives positive value while the multiplication of two different signs gives a negative value

= +1 × -1

= -1

Polina's conclusion is correct

Both are correct.

Answer:

(-4,-2)

x=-4

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x-4y=20

3(x-10y=16)=3x-30y=48

The reason I multiplied 3 to the second equation is for when we add the equations together the x will cancel out.

  -3x-4y=20

+  <u>3x-30y=48</u>

  -34y=68

Divide -34 from both sides.

y=-2

To find x you need to plug in -2 for y into one of the equations.

x-10y=16

x-10(-2)=16

Remember a negative times a negative equals a positive.

x+20=16

Subtract 20 from both sides.

x=-4

Hope this helps!

If not, I am sorry.
