The number -33 divisors are:

D(-33) = {-33, -11, -3, -1, 1, 3, 11, 33}

a × b = -33

<u>1)  -33 × 1 = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   -33 + 1 = -32</u>

2)  -11 × 3 = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   -11 + 3 = -8

3)  -3 × 11 = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   -3 + 11 = 8

4)  -1 × 33 = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   -1 + 33 = 32

<u>5)  1 × (-33) = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   1 + (-33) = 1 - 33 = -32</u>

6)  3 × (-11) = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   3 + (-11) = 3 - 11 = -8

7)  11 × (-3) = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   11 + (-3) = 11 - 3 = 8

8)  33 × (-1) = -33   ⇒   Sum is:   33 + (-1) = 33 - 1 = 32

<h2>The least possible sum of a and b is  -32</h2>

to 1)  and to 5)

Joshua can purchase tile at one store for $0.99 per tile but he he will have to rent a tile saw for $25 at another store he can
natita [175]

Answer: the number of tiles will be 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of tiles that Joshua can buy at either stores.

one store for $0.99 per tile but he he will have to rent a tile saw for $25. Let the total cost of buying x tiles in this store be y. Therefore

y = 0.99x + 25

At another store, he can buy a tile for $1.50 per tile and borrow a tile saw for free. Let the total cost of buying x tiles in this store be z. Therefore

z = 1.5x

To determine the number of tiles for which both costs will be the same, we will equate y to z. It becomes

0.99x + 25 = 1.5x

1.5x - 0.99x = 25

0.51x = 25

x = 25/0.51

x = 49
