(A)The distance a runner ran during training......
Answer:
880 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
cost = 0.05(per minute) + basic fee
y = 0.05x + 15
59 = 0.05x + 15
subtract 15
44 = 0.05x
divide by 0.05
x = 880
a) +17 -9 = +8 . . . a profit of $8
b) +9 -5 = +4 . . . a rise of 4 cm
c) -6 -4 = -10 . . . a drop of 10 °C
_____
Each integer has a sign chosen with respect to some reference direction. We usually choose a rise or increase or profit to be the positive direction, so a drop or decrease or loss is then represented by a negative number.
