By small, we mean that it is small in absolute value. In fact, for any given distance $d$ , there are two integers that are $d$ units away from zero: $d$ and $-d$ .

So, for example, -6 is close to zero than 8, because -6 is six units away from zero, while 8 is eight units away from zero.

So, the answer is B, -8, because it is 8 units away from zero. The other options A, C and D are, respectively, 12, 10 and 14 units away from zero.

there are 27 red or blue marbles in the bag the number of red marbles is five less than three times the number of the blue marbl

alexdok [17]

So assuming that the total =27
r+b=27
r=-5+3b
r=3b-5
subsitute 3b-5 for r in first equation
3b-5+b=27
4b-5=27
add 5
4b=32
divide by 4
b=8
subsitute
b+r=27
8+r=27
subtracct 8
r=19

red=19
blue=8
