A lot of people find it easier to visualize what the least to greatest would look like. So imagine a number line that starts (in the middle) at 0. All numbers to the right get GREATER and GREATER. Going for 0 to 1 to 2.... and higher. Going to the left it gets LOWER and LOWER. So, -1 to -2 to -3 and onward. Basically what I'm trying to say is the farther you are to the left the smaller you are. 

Another way you can think of it is you could remove the negative, and put them in order from least to greatest. Then when you add the negative back you would flip the order. So let's do that with our current problem: (Keep in mind that if you do this with sequences that are not all negative numbers you need to make the positive numbers negative. Or you can write out a number line and put all the numbers on it) 

Our Numbers:
-1.639, -7.06, -7.6, -0.6299, -7.0699, -7.399

Remove the Negative Temporarily: 
1.639, 7.06, 7.6, 0.6299, 7.0699, 7.399

Put the numbers in order from least to greatest:
0.6299, 1.639, 7.06, 7.0699, 7.399, 7.6 

Now add the negative sign back: 
-0.6299, -1.639, -7.06, -7.0699, -7.399, -7.6

Now reverse the order to get the correct answer: 
-7.6, -7.399, -7.0699, -7.06, -1.639, -0.6299

Solve by elimination:
Pie

Answer:

B (5, 13)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x + 4y = 97

9x + 6y = 123

To solve by elimination, we want to <em>eliminate</em> a variable. To do this, we must make one variable cancel out.

First, we can see that both equations have 9x. To cancel out x, we must make <em>one</em> of the 9x's <em>negative</em>. To do this, multiply <em>each term</em> in the equation by -1.

-1(9x + 6y = 123)

-9x - 6y = -123

This is one of your equations. Set it up with your other given equation.

9x + 4y = 97

-9x - 6y = -123

Imagine this is one equation. Since every term is negative, you will be subtracting each term.

9x + 4y = 97

-9x - 6y = -123

___________

0x -2y = -26

-2y = -26

To isolate y further, divide both sides by -2.

y = 13

Now, to find x, plug y back into one of the original equations.

9x + 4(13) = 97

Multiply.

9x + 52 = 97

Subtract.

9x = 45

Divide.

x = 5

Check your answer by plugging both variables into the equation you have not used yet.

-9(5) - 6(13) = -123

-45 - 78 = -123

-123 = -123

Your answer is correct!

(5, 13)

Hope this helps!
