I think it is 14 if my calculations are correct.
Hope it helps
Given:
<span>mantle layer of earth begins about 70 kilometers underneath the surface
</span><span>outer core begins about 2970 kilometers underneath the surface
Since we need to find the position of each layer </span><span>relative to the surface, the surface will serve as the point of origin or 0. Below the surface infers a negative value. So, Mantle layer is -70 km from the surface while outer core is -2970 km under the surface.
Comparing -70 and -2970, -70 has a greater value than -2970. The nearer the number is to the origin or 0, the higher its value.
Comparing the absolute greater value of -70 and -2970, -2970 has a greater absolute value. This is because absolute value is the positive value of the number. Absolute value of -70 is 70 while absolute value of -2970 is 2970. Thus, -2970 has a greater absolute value. </span>

THIS IS THE ANSWER!!!!!!!!!

is asking for what number x will the function

will produce 81.
3x = 81
x = 27
The y-value must be the numerator.
The correct way of solving this would be (7-10)/(3-5)=3/2
