Answer: Choice A
Ahmed started 6 floors above ground level, then he went down 8 floors
The +6 or simply 6, is positive, so he's on the 6th floor to start. Then adding on -8, which is the same as subtracting 8, moves him down 8 floors.
6 + (-8) = 6 - 8 = -2 indicates he's 2 floors below ground level, so he's in basement level 2 (perhaps some kind of parking garage).
X is horizontal and it always goes first and y is vertical and it always goes
Last
-(2.71) goes with 2.71
2.71 goes with -2.71
-(-2.71) goes with 2.71
Commercial jet's speed = 2x-162 (plug this in the equation below)
Private jet's speed = x
Equation:
10(x) = 8(2x-162)
10x = 16x - 1296
6x = 1296
x = 216 (Private jet's speed)
Take the first equation and plug x value in;
2x-162
2(216) - 162 = 270 ( Commercial jet's speed)
