Let x be the unknown number.
7x + 668 < 2000 => 7x plus 668 is less than 2000
where:
7x => x represents the number of cans to be collected in 7 days
668 is the number of cans already collected.
2000 is the target number of cans.
7x + 668 < 2000
<u> - 668 -668</u>
7x < 1332
<u>÷7 ÷7</u>
x < 190.30
or
x < 190
To check:
7x + 668 < 2000
7(190) + 668 < 2000
1330 + 668 < 2000
1998 < 2000

The average rate is the number of equations divided by the time to do them.
The number of equations is the rate multiplied by the time.
On Monday, the number of equations is
.. number = rate*time = P*3
On Tuesday, the rate is
.. rate = number/time = (3P)/2 . . . . . Helen's average rate on Tuesday

Answer: 10</h3>
Subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive. So 2-(-8) is really 2+8 = 10.
With something like 2-8, we start at 2 and move to the left 8 units to arrive at -6 on the number line. When we do 2-(-8), we start at 2 and move 8 units in the opposite direction since -8 is the opposite of 8.
In terms of money, you can think of a negative number as an IOU or it represents the amount of debt. Writing -8 means you are 8 dollars in debt. If we subtract away debt, then we have less of it and effectively its the same as adding dollars to your pocket. Subtracting away 8 dollars of debt is the same as adding 8 dollars to your pocket, which is one interpretation of how 2-(-8) is the same as 2+8.
