Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
-x (y + z)
If y = -3
x = 4 and
z = -5
Substitute the respective values into the expression
-(4) (-3 + -5)
Positive negative when combined gives negative
-4 ( -3 - 5)
Simplify the bracket
-4 (-8)
-4 x -8
Negative negative gives positive

Answer:
The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
chicken=c
Goat=g
the number of chickens could be four times the number of goats
c=4g
Total number of animals=30
c+g=30
Recall, c=4g
So,
c+g=30
4g+g=30
5g=30
Divide both sides by 5
5g/5=30/5
g=6
Recall,
c+g=30
c+6=30
c=30-6
=24
c=24
The possible number of goats is 6 and the possible number of chicken is 24 making a total of 30 animals

Equation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
y = -3x - 9
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -9, I should get y = 0
When x = -9
y = -3 (-9) - 9
= 18 (I did not get 0, wrong)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = -3, I should get y = 0
y = -3(-3) - 9
y = 9 - 9
y = 0 (Yes, I got 0, correct)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 3
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -3
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (I did not get -3, wrong)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Option 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I substitute x = 0, I should get y = -9
y = -3 (0) - 9
y = 0 - 9
y = -9 (Yes, I got -9, correct)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: (-3, 0) and (0, 9) are ordered pairs of the equation (Answer B, D)
