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

The letters in MATH can be arranged 16 ways. D.
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
move all terms to the left:
-1.5x+12-(2.5x-12)=0
get rid of parentheses
-1.5x-2.5x+12+12=0
add all the numbers together, and all the variable.
-4x+24=0
move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
-4x=-24
x=-24/-4 - divide
x=+6
The answer is 5.6! Hope I helped!
