Assuming none of the factors is zero, if an odd number of the factors of a multiplication problem have negative signs, then the product will be negative. Otherwise, the product is positive.
Assuming the dividend of a division problem is non-zero, the quotient wil be negative if the signs of the dividend and divisor are differnt. Otherwise the quotient is positive.
In short, if a multiplication or division problem involves an odd number of minus signs, the result will be negative. Otherwise, the result is positive.
Answer:
The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometrically speaking, the area of the parallelogram has an equation equivalent to the area formula for a rectangle, that is:
(1)
Where:
- Area.
- Base.
- Height.
The base and height of the parallelogram are, respectively:
Base
Height
Then, the area of the parallelogram is:
The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
Answer: The team's win-loss record that year is 1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
During the 2017 Major League Baseball season the Cleveland Indians played 162 games.
Let x = the number of games that the
Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season.
This means that the number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season would be x + 42.
Total number of games played = sum of games won + sum of games lost. This is expressed as
162 = x + 42 + x
2x + 42 = 162
2x = 162-42 = 120
x = 120/2 = 60
Number of games that the Cleveland Indians lost during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60
The number of games that the Cleveland Indians won during the 2017 Major League Baseball season is 60 + 42 = 102
The team's win-loss record that year
would be wins/loses
= 102/60 = 1.7
