Jamal is playing a card game with his friends. the deck has red and black cards numbered 1-12. red cards represent negative numbers, black cards represent positive numbers. if he needs a product of 24, what are the possible combinations of cards jamal could use?

First let us assume all black cards, the numbers that will result in 24 is:

2 * 12

3 * 8

4 * 6

Similar case with the red cards:

-2 * -12

-3 * -8

-4 * -6

Assuming the product can be negative, so we can also take the combination of two cards (1 red and 1 black):

2 * -12

3 * -8

4 * -6

-2 * 12

-3 * 8

-4 * 6

So there are a total of 12 combinations.

answer:     true

step-by-step explanation:

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this
