Plug in the ordered pairs and see which makes it true.
2 - 6 = -4
A is out
6 - 2 = 4
B is right
-1 - 2 = -3
C is wrong
Correct answer is B.
So you have -13, then a number that's somewhere to the right of -13. imagine a number line: the negative values are on the left side of the zero, the positive values are on the right. if you're moving to the RIGHT of -13, that means that the value will be greater than -13, or in other words, -13 will be less than the new value because you moved right.
to find the number 28 units to the right of -13, you simply need to add these two numbers: -13 + 28. you add them because you're moving 28 units in the POSITIVE direction, aka you're going UP, so you want to add. -13 + 28 = 15.
now read the statements your question gave you. C and D are just straight-up false--a positive number is never less than a negative number. those are out immediately. now, the numbers you're working with are -13 and 15, so you can immediately ignore B as an answer choice, but still: A is correct because it shows the correct inequality. -13 is less than the number 28 units to the right of it, that number being positive 15.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 60
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Step 1: Make sense of the given</h3>
"The ratio of y to x is 3"
This means that,
"The sum of y and x is 80"
This means,
<h3>Step 2: Make use of the facts</h3>
If , then .
We can plug this into the other equation by substitution:
This simplifies to:
Which we can solve out and get:
.
<h3>Step 3: Plug and Chug</h3>
We solved for x, but we need the value of y.
So, we go back to the equation we first derived: "".
And now we substitute the value of x, into this.
By solving this out, we get:
So, the value of y is 60.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract equation 2 from equation 1
.7x+y-(-1.5x+y)=340-320
.7x+y+1.5x-y=20
2.2x=20
x=100/11, then use this in either original equation to find y.
.7(100/11)+y=340
y=3670/11, so the balance point is
(100/11, 3670/11)
