14. 2x-1 = 0, x+7=0
x = 1/2, x = -7
15. x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0
(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0
x = -5, x = 2
16. x^2 - 25 = 0
(x-5)(x+5)
x = 5, x = -5
In the middle:
x-coordinate= {7-(-1)}/2= 4
y-coordinate= (8-2)/2= 3
So centre is (4,3)
y= 2*x / x+3 that is my answer
Every 12th box gets a whistle and a ball because 12 is the lowest common factor of 6 and 4.
