I believe C. The temperature is -23 degrees.
This is because, a negative (absolute value) becomes positive
Which would lead for |-23| to end up being |23|
Anytime a negative absolute value is placed, it becomes a positive and a positive stays positive.
So the smallest would be C then B later D and at last A

James has dimes and quarters saved up in his change jar. He has a total of 162 coins totaling $31.20 what is the total amount james has in quarters?
a. $10.00
b. $6.20
c.$15.50
d.$25.00
Answer:
d.$25.00
Step-by-step explanation:
With the information provided, you can write the following equations given that dimes are equal to 0.10 and quarters to 0.25 to determine the number of dimes and quarters that James has:
x+y=162 (1)
0.10x+0.25y=31.20 (2), where:
x is the number of dimes
y is the number of quarters
First, you can solve for x in (1):
x=162-y (3)
Then, you have to replace (3) in (2) and solve for y:
0.10(162-y)+0.25y=31.20
16.2-0.10y+0.25y=31.20
0.15y=31.20-16.2
0.15y=15
y=15/0.15
y=100
Finally, you have to replace the value of y in (3) to find x:
x=162-100
x=62
Now, you know that James has 100 quarters and you can multiply this number for the value of a quarter to find the amount James has in quarters:
100*0.25=25
According to this, the answer is that James has $25 in quarters.
(5,41)
(-5,23)
(-10,14)
(-15,5)
(-2)+(-2)+(-2)+(-2)
=-2-2-2-2
= -8
