If we are losing 52 pounds, then our number is -52 since we are losing 52 pounds (adding a negative number to a positive number is the same as subtracting that number).

The opposite of a number is when we negate the number, or multiply it by -1.

A negative number times a negative number is a positive number.

$-52\cdot-1 = 52\cdot1 = 52$

Hope this helped!

Joy wants to buy strawberries and raspberries to bring to a party. Strawberries cost $1.60 per pound and raspberries cost $1.75

zimovet [89]

Answer: 1.60x + 1.75y is less than or equal to 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the strawberries cost $1.60 per pound, it would be x pounds times $1.60 for the total cost of strawberries. Since the raspberries cost $1.75 per pound, it would be y pounds times $1.75 for the total cost of the raspberries. The total cost of both, or 1.60x + 1.75y, must be equal to or less than 10 because she cannot spend over 10 dollars.
