I'm not sure if I got the question right, but:
2x+4y=12
2*(-2)+4*4=12
-4+16=12
12=12

is a negative rate, because the object is falling down, at 16 feet every passing second.
First, to rewrite something in scientific notation, we want to move the decimal point a number of times to the right or left to end with a number between 0 and 10. In this case, we want to move the decimal point 7 times to the left to get the number 1.304. In scientific notation, this would be the same as 1.304*10^7.
I hope this helps!
