Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with

it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.

a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1

we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
 (we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two

1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2

The answer should be D: 2

I NEED HELP PLEASE!!!! Given a real world problem, can you find the unit rate?
Yuliya22 [10]

Here is an example:

Josh bought 7 apples for $21.

21/7 is 3, so one apple costs $3. This is the unit rate.

21/7 simplifies to 3/1, that’s another way to think about it. Simplify the fraction until the denominator is 1.

Hope this helps! Tell me if you have any questions!

Question
Mashutka [201]

The equivalent value of given the expression is -17.25. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

<h3>What is an equivalent expression?</h3>

Equivalent expressions are expressions that work the same even though they look different. If two algebraic expressions are equivalent, then the two expressions have the same value when we plug in the same value for the variable.

The given expression is -14-8×0.5+0.75.

Now, -14-8×0.5+0.75

= -14-(8×0.5)+0.75

= -14-4+0.75

= -18+0.75

= -17.25

The equivalent value of given the expression is -17.25. Therefore, option C is the correct answer.

Find the equation of this line... please help.
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Count down until you reach the line the point is on and count to lines until you reach the point
In this case down 2 and right 4
So your slope is negative
And the line crosses the y-axis at 1 so you intercept is 1
-2/4x+1 would be correct but it is not simplified
-1/2x+1 is the correct answer because the equation is simplified
