Amplitude is 4. Take the absolute value of value a
An integer has to be either even or odd
Even numbers are numbers divisible by 2, while odd numbers are not
Let us represent the 2 even numbers like this
ax+1
bx+1
When you add the two numbers together, you get
2a + 1 + 2b + 1
This can be simplified using the inverse of distributive property
2(a+b) + 2
2(a+b+1)
This is the sum, which is divisible by 2
Answer: $4.20 for 7
This problem can be solved by dividing the pay by the number of items.
$6.30 / 9 = $0.70
$5.50 / 5 = $1.10
$4.20 / 7 = $0.60
$0.80 / 1 = $0.80
This shows that for the third option, $4.20 for 7, the rate per item is the lowest.

W + 3 3/8 = 1 5/6;
W = 1 5/6 - 3 3/8;
W = 11/6 - 27/8;
W = 11/(2*3) - 27/(2*4);
W = (11*4 - 27*3)/(2*3*4);
W = (44 - 81)/24;
W = -37/24 = -1 13/24;
