What 2 numbers multiply to -147 but add to -14?

1 answer:

4 0

Okay, so let's go over multiplying negative numbers. A positive times a positive is a positive, right? But a negative times a negative is also a positive. Only a negative times a positive (or a positive times a negative) gives you a negative number. So, we know that one of our 2 numbers in this question must be negative; the other must be positive.

Let's now take a look at the factors of -147, starting with the positives. Obviously, -147 and 1 are factors: -147 * 1 = -147. What other factors of -147 are there?

What about 7? Try it: -147 / 7 = -21. So here are two factors: -21, and 7. They multiply to -147. Do they add up to -14? Let's see: -21+7 = 7+(-21) = 7-21= -14. Yup, that works!

Answer: -21 and 7

It costs $60 per hour to rent a jet ski. The total cost of a jet ski rental

Anastasy [175]

Answer:

y = 60x + 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of hours that we ski is a variable cost where each hour costs $60. On top of that, we have a fixed cost of $20 which stays the same no matter how long we ski.

So we can use an equation to find the totla cost C given the number of hours t as follows:

C(t) = 60t + 20

We can use this equation to find the cost of a skiing session by plugging in some value for t. For example, if we ski for 3 hours:

C(3) = 60(3) + 20 = $200

The equation can also be written using x and y and mean the same thing.

It depends, not exactly, because the techtonic plates aren't connected.
