Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
You cannot find two whole number integers that give a sum of -12 and a product of 6.
-1 + -11 = -12, but (-1)(-11) = 11, which isn't 6
-2 + -10 = -12, but (-2)(-10) = 20, which isn't 6
...and so on...
The correct answer is A) yes, the sum of each pair is greater than the third.
The triangle inequality theorem states that the sum of any two sides of a triangle is longer than the third side. This is true for these numbers, so this does form a triangle.

Let the number of students in the class be x
Let the number of pieces of gum she gave out be 3x
Equation
3x + 8 = 168 This will not work out evenly. Let's try x - 1. The reason for that is because she may not give out anything to herself.
3(x - 1) + 8 = 168 This doesn't work either.
Well we have to choose. It's a rounding problem.
3x + 8 = 168 Subtract 8 from both sides.
3x = 168 - 8 Combine
3x = 160 Divide by 3 on both sides.
x = 160 / 3
x = 53.333333333
Since that can't be, we could say there were 53 students.
