Answer:
(D). The number that is 7 to the right of 2 on the number line
Step-by-step explanation:
It could also be the number that is 2 to the right of 7 on the number line. When numbers are added, the distances of each to the origin are laid end-to-end from the origin to the right on the number line.
2+7 can mean that the distance 2 is added to the distance 7, or vice versa. (The commutative property of addition says order does not matter.)

Taking the square root of both sides gives two possible cases,

or

Recall that

If
and
, we have

so in the equations above, we can write

Then in the first case,


(where
is any integer)


and in the second,




Then the solutions that fall in the interval
are

People in building ---- x (men, women and children)
children --- y
men + women + children = x
(3/7)x + (5/8)(4/7)x + y = x
3x/7 + 5x/14 + y = x
times 14
6x + 5x + 14y = 14x
14y = 3x
y + 220 =x
sub into the other one
14y = 3(y+220)
11y = 660
y = 60
then 14(60) = 3x ---> x = 280
So we have 280 people in the building.
check: 3/7 of 280 are men = 120
leaving 160 women and children
5/8 of these ot 100 are women
so we have 120 men, 100 women and 60 children!
hope this is right! have a great. day
Using: loga b = log b / log a
1) a=x+3, b=4 → y1=log4 (x+3) → y1= log (x+3) / log 4
2) a=2+x, b=2 →y2=log2 (2+x) → y2=log (2+x) / log 2
Answer:
y1=log (x+3) / log 4, y2= log (2+x) / log 2
