The set of number can all be related to each other. They may all have more factors that are greater than 1.
A would be the correct answer because he is up in elevation so that makes the 1200 positive and he goes down 20.4 which is negative and is goes that far down!!
hope this helps
We can get two different equations from this:
3x = 18
and
3x = -18
So:
x = 6, x = -6
x = {6, -6}
1 gallon cost $15
1 quarts cost $4
1 quarts = 1/4 gallon
15x for number of gallon cans
2 cans at $4 each = $8
15x + 8 = 53
Subtract 8 from both sides:
15x = 53-8
15x = 45
Divide both sides by 15:
x = 45/15
x = 3
