s a positive. The opposite of negative is positive, so it is just like multiplying the opposite of a negative twice, which is two positives." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? What would you say in response to him?

Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Yes, I agree with this statement.</u>

Whenever we multiply two negative numbers, we get a positive number.

As two negatives makes a positive.

Negative is just like an opposite.

Opposite of 4 is -4.

and negative of 4 is also -4.

The opposite of negative is positive.

i.e. opposite of -4 is 4.

So, Negative is always treat as opposite.

alina1380 [7]

The quantity of the liquid in Richard's tank after 20 minutes will be 120 gallons and in Jason's tank will be 240 gallons.

<h3>What are gallons?</h3>

A gallon is a British unit which is used for the measurement of liquids that is equal to eight pints. In Britain, it is equal to about 4.546 litres. In America, it is equal to about 3.785 litres.

It is given in the question that:-

Richard fills his pool at a rate of 6 gallons per minute.

Jason's pool already contains 200 gallons, and he fills it at a rate of 2 gallons per minute.

After 20 minutes the amount of liquid in the tank will be:-

For Richard = 6 gallons per minute. x  20  minutes= 120 gallons

For Jason= 2 gallons per minute  x  20  =40 gallons

Jason has 200 gallons already in the tank

So it will become = 200+24=240 gallons.

Hence  quantity of the liquid in Richard's tank after 20 minutes will be 120 gallons and in Jason's tank will be 240 gallons.
