Answer:
1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
8 x 1.50=12
25-12=13
13-4=9
9/6=1.5
Well in the first equation m= -17
So you just have to substitute -17 in and see if it makes sense
like with the first equation -17 + 25 does equal 8 therefore x (in the second equation) = m (in the first)
Answer:
D.
Step-by-step explanation:

B - Negotiating.
This is because they are communicating, they haven't yet agreed to anything or committed to the contract as neither parties have signed, thus leading to both C and D to be incorrect.
A, however, is not exactly a term used for this situation - contracting is more of a term used to say someone contracted a disease or the flu or etc.
Therefore, B would be correct as they are indeed negotiating the terms of the contract.
Hope this helps!
