Let us determine the product of 438 and 17 by partial products.
Consider 
and 
So, 

= 
= 7446
Therefore, the product of 438 and 17 is 7446.
No, Sandra's answer is not correct.
Because she should have expressed 17 as (10+7), then if she multiplied (438 by 10) and (438 by 7). And, then added the results.Then her answer would be correct.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Negative integer J
Required
Represent as an inequality of its inverse
The question didn't state if it's additive inverse or multiplicative inverse;
<em>Since the question has to do with negation, I'll assume it's an additive inverse</em>
<em></em>
The inverse of -J is +J
To represent as an inequality (less than or equal), we have:

Solving further, it gives

Answer:
y = -.5x -.5
Step-by-step explanation:
All you do is plug in the x and y in the point to the equation, y = mx + b. Since the coordinate is (5, -3), this in the equation would look like -3 = -.5(5) +b. (all you need to find is the y-intercept, or b.) Solve it out to get -3 = -2.5 + b. Add 2.5 to each side of the equation, you're left with b = -.5. Now, put that back into the original equation, and get y = -.5x -.5. I think this is right, you can go back through and check once more if you'd like.
Answer:
A = 72, P = 38
Step-by-step explanation:
Area can be found by getting the area of the overall figure, and then subtracting the blank space in the corner
12 * 7 = 84
3 * 4 = 12(invisible rectangle in top right)
84 - 12 = 72
Perimeter can be found by adding all of the sides
12 + 7 + (12-4) + 3 + 4 + (7-4)
The numbers in brackets are the unlabeled sides on the top and left.
Answer:
Number 3 has no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
First you need to divide both sides of the equation 12x - 12y = -12 by 4
-3x + 3y = -3
12x - 12y = -12
-3x + 3y = -3
3x - 3y = -3
Then you need to eliminate one variable by adding the equations.
0 = -6
this statement is false, and therefore has no solution.
