Answer: $-x$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that:

- Integers contains the positive numbers (+), negative numbers (-) and zero.

- The numbers greater than zero are Positive Integers.

- The numbers less than zero are Negative integers.

- An integer and its opposite have the same distance from zero, but they are located on opposite sides of the number line.

In this case we know that $x$ is a Positive Integer, therefore, based on the information mentioned before, we can say that its negative (or its opposite) is:

$-x$

3.5 × 1000

= 3500.

Two rectangles are proportional.

Length and width of 1 rectangle = 6 : 8

Dimensions of the other rectangle = ?

Let length and width of the other rectangle be x : y

According to the question:

$\frac{6}{8} :\frac{x}{y}$

Answer:

The bait is 14 feet below the water surface

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the final position of the bait relative to the surface of the water.

Firstly, he starts with the bait at 2 feet below the water surface. The reels out the bait a further 19 feet, the new position of the bait relative to the water surface will be 2 + 19 = 21 feet
