You should be able to set up a proportion between the sides something like (18+x)/x=(56+21)/56
7x-3 would then be 7(-2) -3. 7 multiplied by -2 would be -14. -14-3= -17
hope this helps
Answer:
The slope of the line is 2.
This means that Jan runs 2 laps every 1 minute.
Let the number = x
Given: The sum of -5 and a number is -15
Then,
x - 5 = -15
or x = -15 +5 = -10.
Hence, the number is -10
