I don't really get this question but simply put, if you are in college syntax matters very much. (13-4) = 9 *(x-5) = 9x-45.. although in this case. since there isn't a bracket around 13-4. you'd multiply by the -4 first, giving you, 4x-20+30 =4x-10
Answer: 59
Step-by-step explanation:
-7 (-6) + 17 (multiply -7 and -6)

Answer:
1. rational number
2. a positive rational number
Step-by-step explanation:
A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a simple fraction. When two rational numbers are multiplied together, the only logical answer would be for the outcome/product to also be rational.
The reciprocal of a positive rational number is also a positive rational number because if the original number was negative, the reciprocal would also be negative since the signs wouldn't change (in this case, the original number is positive). Since the original number is already a rational number, just by flipping it (the reciprocal), it would not change to an irrational, but instead stay the same.
I believe the answer would be 2 23/42. Sorry, if I am wrong with this answer. Sorry, i also mean the answer should be actually 1 3/7
