Write and solve a real-world problem that can be represented by the expression (–3)(5), then solve it

Answer and explanation:

(-3)(5) evaluates to -3×5=-15

A real world problem that would represent this would be a case where 5 fruit vendors each give out 3 fruits to 3 of their customers in the spirit of Christmas. Each vendor gives out(subtracts fruits from fruit stock) 3 of their fruits= -3 fruits for each vendor. There are a total of 5 fruit vendors therefore -3×5= -15 fruits given out by all 5 fruit vendors in total. To better understand this, we could compare this to if the vendor were to get(add to stock of fruits) fruits and not actually give out fruits. This would be 3×5= 15 fruits gotten by all the 5 vendors in total.

(2x + 16) + (x) = 180

step-by-step explanation:

given,

abcd is a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle

angle a is labeled x plus 16, (x + 16)

angle b is labeled x degrees, (x)

angle c is labeled 6x minus 4, (6x – 4)

angle d is labeled 2x plus 16, (2x + 16)

what equation can be used to solve for angle b?

we know that the sum of the opposite angles of a simple quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is 180 degrees.

angle b is opposite angle d

therefore, angle b + angle d = 180

(x) + (2x + 16) = 180 

same as (2x + 16) + (x) = 180
