Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The lines mean the distance away from 0. When i say lines, I mean the two "l" that accompany the numbers. I forgot what there called (good job me).
Since we want to know how far apart they are, we need to add them.
You have to subtract 4.35 from 15.60 to see for all the children
3x+4.35 = 15.60
2(10-3) distribute = 2*10 is 20 and 2*3 is 6
20-6+(5-14/2)
now 20-6 is 14
14+(5-14/2)
now 14/2 is 7
14+(5-7)
now 5-7 is -2
14+-2
is 12
the answer is 12
but if you want to you can do 12/3 to get the greatest common factor
which is 4
hope i help you :P
