Answer:
203 YD
Step-by-step explanation:
B. is the answer because they have 2 variables that you need to combine “combine like terms”
Let's the name the first number x and the consecutive number x + 1. The sum of both of these numbers equals to 53.
We now have our equation:
x + x + 1 = 53
Now solve for x.
x + x + 1 = 53
2x + 1 = 53 <-- Combine like terms
2x = 52 <-- Subtract 1 from each side
x = 26
So, the first number is 26 and the second number is 27.
A is the only number line that correctly shows the locations of all given values.
Answer=A
***EDIT***
Okay, so if you look at the number line, you notice that the distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4. When we move to the left, we decrease in value. When we move to the right, we increase in value.
So, knowing that, lets look at A and see if all of the numbers are correctly placed.
1/2 should be two lines to the right of 0 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4=2/4 or 1/2)
-4 is a relatively easy value to find, since its line is labeled.
-2 3/4 should be three lines to the right of -2 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4 and if you go 3/4 to the left of -2 u get -2 3/4)
(-2-3/4=-2 3/4)
1 1/4 should be three lines behind 2 (since distance between one line and the next is equal to 1/4, and 1/4+1/4+1/4=3/4 and if you go 3/4 to the left of 2 you get 1 1/4)
(2-3/4=1 1/4)
