Which integer is closest to 0 on the number line?
1 answer:
An integer is close to zero if it is "small".
By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance , there are two integers that are
units away from zero:
and
.
So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.
So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.

Answer: B. x = 40
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles given are supplementary.
Supplementary angles are any two angles that add to 180 degrees, most commonly seen on one side of a straight line.
As these angles are supplementary, we can solve for x by adding both angles to get 180:
This means that the angle on the left is (3*40) + 15, or 135 degrees, while the angle on the right is 45 degrees. These angles add to 180 degrees.
The correct answer choice is B.
