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
Answer:
<h2>x = 1</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Look a t the picture.
The triangles on the picture are similar.
Therefore the sides are in proportion:
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>divide both sides by 40</em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
p ----> the price of a watermelon in dollars
w ---> the weight of a watermelon in pounds
In this problem we have a proportional relationship
Remember that
A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a proportional variation if it can be expressed in the form 
or 
In a proportional relationship the constant of proportionality k is equal to the slope m of the line and the line passes through the origin
In this problem
The value of the constant of proportionality k is the same that the unit rate
Find out the unit rate
Divide the total cost by the total weight
substitute in the equation
1. 1/9 since you take all the "a"s in the words which is 2/18
2.2/9 same thing as above
3.18/18 since there is no "O" it's a trick question
4.3/9
5.5/6 since you don't count 6
6.1/2 and 1/2 coins are always 1/2 unless you flip twice
7.5/13
8.1/2 because 1,3,5 odd 2,4,6 even
Hope that helps
A constant means something that always is there (horrible explanation ik), 14.6 is always being multiplied regardless of h, so the constant is 14.6!
