A) Because it is 3 units to the left of 2 on a horizontal number line<span />
Solving:
-7 + y = 3 + 2y
Solving for variable 'y'.
Move all terms containing y to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
-7 + y + -2y = 3 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: y + -2y = -1y
-7 + -1y = 3 + 2y + -2y
Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
-7 + -1y = 3 + 0
-7 + -1y = 3
Add '7' to each side of the equation.
-7 + 7 + -1y = 3 + 7
Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0
0 + -1y = 3 + 7
-1y = 3 + 7
Combine like terms: 3 + 7 = 10
-1y = 10
Divide each side by '-1'.
y = -10
Hope it helps. (:
x= -4 because 1.4 times -4=- 5.6 and 2.6 times -4=-10.4 and when we add to numbers postive or negative numbers it stays positive or negative depnding on the problem and 10.4 + 5.6 + 16 however becuase both were negative the answers stays negative making the answer _ 16 and it says 1.4x+2.6x=-16 so the correct answer is x= -4
The answer is 25%.
60/240=x/100
60*100=6000
6000/240=25
60/240=25/100
