The correct answer is the 2nd choice because -1/6 is closer to 0 and the surface of the pool would be considered 0. -4/6 is farther away from 0 so it is less.
Five-5
three-3
"the quantity five plus three" (5 + 3)
"one hundred times the quantity ..." means 100 (5 + 3)
now just solve 100(5+3)
solve the parentheses first (5+3) = 8
Now you are left with 100(8) or 100*8
when you solve your answer is 800
I would multiply both sides by negative one and then take the smaller of the two variables and subtract that from both sides, simplify and solve.
The angles are complementary.
This means they add to 90 degrees.
(2x + 1) + (x + 5) = 90.
3x + 6 = 90. (Combine like terms)
3x = 84. (Subtract 6 from each side)
x = 28. (Divide 3 from each side)
x = 28
D is correct
