Answer: +3
Step-by-step explanation: The answer is positive 3 because if you look on a number line, you will only move 3 spaces to the right. You could also look as this problem as a subtraction problem. 5-2=3. Tip: While adding positive and negative numbers, look at the bigger number in the problem. In this case it's 5. The five is positive so the answer is positive. If the five were to be negative, the answer would be negative. In adding the larger number dictates whether the sum will be positive or negative.
Answer:
quarts
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of drinks = 
+ 
You would want to make the denominators the same before adding them, so I will multiply the first fraction by 2 and the second one by 3 so their denominators are 6.
+ = 
+ 
Now we can directly add them together while keeping the denominator the same.
+ = quarts
We know that the sum of arc ND and arc ML divided by 2 is equivalent to 6x + 23.
Thus, we can form an equation:
6x + 23 = (11x + 8 + 3x + 14)/2
Simplify:
6x + 23 = (14x + 22)/2
Simply again:
6x + 23 = 7x + 11
Subtract 6x from both sides:
23 = x + 11
Subtract 11 from both sides
x = 12
Option A, or x = 12

I wrote the steps down, hopefully you understand them and the answer is on the lower right corner.
