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
Answer: The answer is (B) 2x + 3(3x – 5) = 51
.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given three options and we are to select which choice shows the result of substituting 3x – 5 into the second equation for y.
So, y = 3x - 5.
Since the standard form of a linear equation i two variables is ax + by = c, so the second equation as given in the options must be of the form 2x + 3y = 51.
If we substitute y = 3x - 5, then this equation becomes
2x + 3(3x - 5) = 51.
Thus, (B) 2x + 3(3x – 5) = 51 is the correct option.
Answer:

Answer:
the variable n represents how many of the product thomas bought
Step-by-step explanation:
20 dollars is the initial amount of money, and for every paintbrush, you have to subtract 4 dollars from thomas's initial amount, and the result of the subtraction is the amount of change he will recieve.
Answer:
0.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the laws of logarithms:
log81/8 + 2log2/3 - 3log 3/2 + log 3/4
= log 81/8 + log (2/3)^2 - log (3/2)^3 + log 3/4
= log 81/8 + log 4/9 - log 27/8 + log 3/4
= log 81/8 + log 4/9 - (log 27/8 - log 3/4)
= log (81/8 * 4/9) - log (27/8 * 4/3)
= log 9/2 - log 9/2
= 0.
