you would change the denominators to the least common multiple, in this case, 12. then you would change the fractions to 8/12, 14/12, and 7/12. you would add those, and get 29/12. divide 29 by 12, and get 2. add the rest to get 2 5/12.
4(-2)-3 = -8-3 = -11
Answer: -11
I say left because you have a straight line, i goes through 0,0 and every time it goes over 1 and up by 3.

Answer: 10 cm (choice A)</h3>
====================================================
Explanation:
One equation we could solve is
x/2.5 = 30/7.5
Note the x/2.5 has us dividing the vertical sides, while 30/7.5 is the same idea for the horizontal sides. The order is large over small. You could do small over large, but make sure you keep both sides consistent.
Solving for x leads to...
x/2.5 = 30/7.5
x*7.5 = 2.5*30
7.5x = 75
x = 75/7.5
x = 10 (choice A)
There are many other possible equations that lead to the same answer. One other possible equation is x/30 = 2.5/7.5
These proportions are possible due to the fact we have similar triangles.
