The answer is 194.59
(72 x 100) / 37 = 194.59
B.) Hibiscus Street
The key thing to remember is the slope of the lines. The equation for a line in slope intercept form is
y = ax + b
where
a = slope
b = y intercept
So the equation for Oak Street is y = 2/3x - 7. So it's slope is 2/3. And any street that has the same slope will be given a tree name. And any street that's perpendicular will be given a flower name. You can determine is a line is perpendicular if it has a slope that's the negative reciprocal. So a street that's perpendicular to Oak street will have a slope of -3/2.
Now you've just been given the equation to a new street that's y = -3/2x - 2. Since the slope is -3/2 and Oak street has a slope of 2/3, the new street is perpendicular to Oak street. And given the naming scheme, that means that the new street will have the name of a flower. So let's look at the available street names and pick a flower.

A.) Weeping Willow Street
* Nope a Weeping Willow is a tree. So this name won't work.
B.) Hibiscus Street
* Yes. A Hibiscus is a flower, so this name is suitable.
C.) Oak Street
* Nope. Not only is this a tree instead of a flower, but there's already an Oak street. So bad choice.
D.) Panther Street
* Nope, this is an animal, not a flower. Bad choice.

-1-4x+7x=1x+4x
-1-4x+7x=1x+4x
-1+-4x+7x=x+4x
(-4x+7x)+(-1)=(x+4x)
3x+-1=5x
3x-1=5x
3x-1-5x=5x-5x
-2x-1=0
-2x-1+1=0+1
-2x=1
-2x/-2=1/2
x=-1/2
4(9+7-9)
the nines cancel
4*7 =28
420 would be the middle number.
