Please help me on this

Answer 1

Answer: The coordinate of L is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say you were to plot the point on a number line and find the distance between P and G.

P is -6 on the number and G is 18 on the number so to find the distance between them we will need to find the different between the number and find its absolute value.

-6- 18 = -24  and the absolute value of -24 is 24.

In other words to get from -6 to 18 on the number line you need to move 24 units to the right.

Now to answer the question, we know that the distance between the two numbers is 24 and and it says that L is 1/6 of the distance.

We can represent that by the equation,

L = $\frac{1}{6} * 24$

L =  4
