Product is multiplication.
Let the number = x
3 *( X+7) = -36
Use distributive property:
3x +21 = -36
Subtract 21 from each side:
3x = -57
Divide both sides by 3:
x = -57 /3
x = -19
Check: 3 * (-19 +7) = 3 * -12 = -36
The number is -19
Step-by-step explanation:
Rate of drop of temperature = Change in temperature/Rate
=> (165 - 135)/15
=> 30/15
=> 2 ⁰F/min
Now, The time at which the temperature of will be 70⁰F = 70/Rate
=> 70/2
=> 35 min
Time for 110⁰ F
=> 110/2
=> 55 min
Change 4/5 - 2/3 so that the denominator is th same. Let’s try 15.
So, 12/15 - 10/15.
Then, subtract to get 2/15.
Hope it helped :)
