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
 
hoped this helped at all!

What is the solution to the following system of equations 4x + 2 = -2y 6y - 18 = 6x
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The solution to the system of equations are;

x = -4/3

y = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the Solution, we would carry the Operation simultaneously.

4x + 2 = -2y .........(i)

6y - 18 = 6x ..........(ii)

First let's rearrange the equations, to make the journey smoother

2y + 4x = -2 ...........(iii)

6y - 6x = 18 ...........(iv)

Let's Multiply equation (III) by 3 so as to have a uniform spot to begin elimination.

3.2y + 3.4x = -2 . 3

6y + 12x = -6............... (v)

Let's subtract equation (v) from equation (iv)

= 0y - 18x = 24

-18x = 24

x = - 24 / 18

x = -4/3

Let's substitute (x = -4/3) in equation (ii), so that we can solve for the value of y:

6y - 18 = 6x

6y - 18 = 6 (-4/3)

6y - 18 = -8

6y = -8 + 18

6y = 10.

y = 10 / 6

y = 5/3

The solution to the system of equations are;

x = -4/3

y = 5/3

En un grupo de 100 personas 2/5 prefieren sopa de pollo, 4/10 prefieren comer hornado, y el resto prefiere fritada. A) ¿Qué part
castortr0y [4]
In a group of 100 people, 2/5 prefer chicken soup, 4/10 prefer to eat hornado, and the rest prefer frying. What part of the group prefers frying ? How many people prefer each type of food ? (thank u google translate)...I guess

2/5 of 100 prefer chicken soup.....so thats 2/5 * 100 = 200/5 = 40 prefer chicken soup.

4/10 out of 100 prefer hornado (I dont even know what that is)...
4/10 * 100 = 400/10 = 40 prefer hornado.

and the rest prefer frying....100 - (40 + 40) = 100 - 80 = 20 (or 1/5) prefer frying
