Answer:
speed = distance÷time 48.7÷1.2 = 40.58
6 bags × 24 balloons = the amount of round balloons
6× 24 = 144
3 bags × 36 balloons = the amount of long balloons
3 ×36=108
108 long balloons - 144 round balloons = number of more long balloons that round ones
108-144=-36
He has -36 more long balloons that round ones
Or 36 more round balloons that long ones

Actually Welcome to the concept of expo functions.
f(x) = -8(2)^x - 12 ,
for f(0) ,here substitute x = 0
so we get as ,
==> f(0) = -8(2)^0 -12
==> f(0) = -8-12
==> f(0) = -20
hence, f(0) = -20
y = sqrt(x) .... parent function
y = sqrt(x+2) .... replace x with x+2 to shift 2 units to the left
y = sqrt(x+2)+3 ... add on 3 to move 3 units up
y = sqrt(-x+2)+3 ... replace x with -x to reflect over y axis
<h3>Answer: y = sqrt(-x+2)+3</h3>
