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:
Option D. 8 units
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1
Find the area of rectangle
The area of rectangle is

step 2
Find the length side of the square with the same area of rectangle
The area of a square is

where
b is the length side of the square
we have

substitute

take the square root both sides

therefore
The length side of the square is 8 units
Answer:
60 ft is 720 in. I did 720/15...that equals 48. At this point i think each in in the drawing is a foot, so every one in is 48 ft.
(x+48)
there is no y because they only give information about one side. hope this helps. :)
Step-by-step explanation:
6x=16
