Step-by-step explanation:
The probability that her first treat is jelly is 4/20. Since she eats the candy and does not replace it, the probability the second treat is jelly would be 3/19 (1 less jelly and 1 less total candies). You would then multiply (4/20) by (3/19). That is your answer.
One reason that negative numbers would not make sense for values of the variables is that the solution having a negative value is not valid. It might be that the expression represents a real word problem and a negative value will not make any sense. Hope this helps.
