How many solutions does the following equation have?<br> -4(+5) = -4- 20
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Try looking at it in 2 ways- left side and right side. On the left side we have -4*5, which equals -20. On the right we have -4-20, which equals -24. so then when we add it all together (not literally) we get -20=-24. Since -20 and -24 obviously do not equal eachother, there is no solution.

In a survey of college students, each of the following was found. Of these students, 355 owned a tablet, 292 owned a laptop, 280
avanturin [10]

Add all the numbers together to find the total amount of college students surveyed.

355 + 292 + 280 + 191 + 198 + 136 + 66 + 24 = 1,542

The number is already simplified considering it's a whole number. The answer is either 1,542 or 1,500

<em>(I say either because when it says to simplify I'm not sure if they want it to be rounded.)</em>
