Answer:
2 positive * 1 negative = negative
2 negative * 1 positive = positive
Step-by-step explanation:
one positive and 2 negative
(+ * -) * - =
positive times negative = negative * negative = positive
(+ * -) * - = +
now if we change the order by putting parenthesis
+ *( - * -)
negative time negative = positive
+ * (+) = positive
the result is positive
The result does not change because of where we put the parentheses.
- * + * + =
negative times positive = negative
negative * positive= negative
- * + * + = negative
The order does not matter
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
These triangles are similar using the AA theroem. This means there sides are in corresponding proportion.
Side AR and Side TE are corresponding. Use this proportion.

This side the triangle SAR side lengths are 3/4 of side lengths of triangle SET.
We know that RS+ST=21
And that RS=3/4(ST).


x=12.
Side ST is 12
The simplified polynomial is; xy(x²y - xy² +1) and; the value when x=-3 and y=2 is; -186
From the polynomial given;
The polynomial can be factorised to yield a simpler form as follows;
This is so because, xy is a common factor.
The value is therefore;
- (-3×2)((-3)²2 - (-3×2²) +1)
= -186
