1. If the product of these integers is to be 1, then all of them must be either 1 or -1.
2. Since the product is positive (+1), it must be that there are an *even* number of negative ones (-1), if any.
3. If the sum were 0 it would mean that the number of +1's must equal the number of -1's. So that means there would have to be exactly 22/2=11 of each.
4. But if there were 11 of each, that means the number of -1's would be *odd* and there's no way the product could be +1 (as stated in 2 above).
Hence, the sum is never 0, if the product of 22 integers is equal +1.
Answer:
1) Amy can invite 17 people.
2) x > 76
3) 40 - 6 is greater than or equal to 3x
4) x is greater than or equal to 98
Step-by-step explanation:
1) 50 + 8x = 200
2) 200 < 3x - 28
3) 40 = 6 +3x
4) (95 + 78 + 89 + x)/4 is greater than or equal to 90
Answer:
19 1/18 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
For Tuesday's ride we need to multiply 10 8/9 by 3/4.
10 8/9 = (9*10+8) / 9 = 98/9 miles.
98 / 9 * 3/4
= 98/3 * 1/4
49/6
= 8 1/6 miles.
Total miles over 2 days = 10 8/9 + 8 1/6
= 18 + 8/9 + 1/6
= 18 + 48/54 + 9/54
= 18 57/54
= 19 3/54
= 19 1/18 miles.
--8+4+6=2
Hope it helps :-)
