Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with
it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.
a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1
we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1
(we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1)
-1²=1
-1³=-1
1⁴= 1
since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two
1-(-1) = 1+1 = 2
The answer should be D: 2
hoped this helped at all!
40 dollars interest, she put down 20 plus the 10 months payments of 34 so 34x10=340 plus the 20 down 360,.
Well, let’s look at it this way for a moment. Let’s remove the extra 3 pencils in his bag. Now we are left with 42 pencils divided equally in 7 bundles.
42 / 7 = 6
= 6 pencils per bundle. Now add the 3 pencils he initially had in his bag.
= 7 bundles with 6 pencils + 3 more in bag
Hope this helps!
There are various here are some:
88x1
100/5 + 34x2
Or more complicated
8 squared times 2 minus 40
