Answer:
(-18) + (-2) = -20
Step-by-step explanation:
arrow is moving from -18 to -20.
4(x+2)+2=14
4x+8+2=14
4x+10=14
Subtract 10 from both sides
4x=4
Divide by 4 on both sides
x=1
If James has 12 pairs of basketball shoes, then the ratio would be 3:4 which would stop at 3:12. Then the individual ratios would be 3:4, 6:8, and 9:12
So James has 9 pairs of running shoes
8 foot path
1st step = 8/2 = 4ft
2nd step = 4/2 = 2ft
3rd step = 2/2 = 1ft
4th step = 1/2 = 1/2ft
So he covered 7 1/2 ft (or 7.5ft)
