Since you are adding both negatives then it will just stay negative. For example -1-1=-2

Answer:

because adding a negative is the same thing as subtracting a positive, so the answer will be further negative than where it started.

also, you can tell because even if the 24 was positive, -38 is more negative than 24 is positive, so either way the answer will be negative.

the product of five consecutive odd integers is 945 what is the greatest possible value of any of these integers

Troyanec [42]

If 945 is the product of 5 CONSECUTIVE ODD numbers, let's find the prime factors of 945:

945 = 5 x 7 x 27 , but we need 5 odd numbers:

945= 5 x 7 x ( 3 x 9 ) we still need one factor. This factor cannot be but 1

945 = 1 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 9 = 945 and the greatest value of these integers is 9

D-1/2=5/12 what is d??

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

d = $\frac{11}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) To solve for d, isolate it in the equation. So, to get rid of the $-\frac{1}{2}$ with the d, add $\frac{1}{2}$ to both sides.

$d-\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{12} \\d - \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{12} + \frac{6}{12} \\d = \frac{11}{12}$

Thus, d = $\frac{11}{12}$ .

Allison’s dog is 6 pounds more than 5 times the weight of Gail’s dog. What algebraic expression could you make to find (g) which

emmasim [6.3K]

Given that Allison’s dog is 6 pounds more than 5 times the weight of Gail’s dog, it is important to know the following:

1. The word "more" indicates an Addition.

2. The word "times" indicates Multiplication.

Knowing this, you can write the following expression to represent "5 times the weight of Gail’s dog", where "g" is the weight of Gail’s dog:

$5g$

Therefore, you can determine that the weight of Allison's dog (in pounds) is the sum of 6 pounds and 5 times the weight of Gail's dog (in pounds). Then, you can represent this with this algebraic expression:

$5g+6$

Hence, the answer is:

$5g+6$
