Answer:
The expression that is greater is a (b - c)
Step-by-step explanation:
- a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>(by the addition property)</u> that c - c > b - c⇒0 > b - c
so for the product <u>a(b - c) </u>we would have a multiplication of a negative number <em>a</em> and another negative number <em>(b - c)</em>. We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.</u>
Therefore, a (b - c) > 0
- a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>by the addition property</u> that c - b > b - b⇒ c - b > 0
so for <u>a(c - b)</u>, we have the negative number <em>a</em> multiplied by the positive number <em>(c - b). </em>We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of a negative number by a positive number is negative. </u>
<u>Therefore a (c - b) < 0</u>
Thus, the expression that is greater is the positive one which is a (b - c)

<em>Identify</em>
3x + 5(2 + x) = 4x - 7
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- [Distributive Property] Distribute 5: 3x + 10 + 5x = 4x - 7
- [Addition] Combine like terms: 8x + 10 = 4x - 7
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4x on both sides: 4x + 10 = -7
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 10 on both sides: 4x = -17
- [Division Property of Equality] Divide 4 on both sides: x = -17/4
(x^2 +3)(5x+9)
5x^3 + 9x^2 + 15x + 27
actual cost is 950+23,500=24450
he sold them for 25000 so his profit is 25000-950-23500=550
