I think you can use division for this question: 15ft/8 pieces = 1.875 ft
1) + $12, since it is a profit
2) -1440 ft, since it is below the sea level
3) - 22°F, since it is below
4) + 31 yards, since it is a gain.
Suppose th emix number is 1 2/3 you will say 1 whole 2 out of 3
The answer is x=-3
5-x=11+x
-11 -11 First subtract 11
-6-x=x
+x +x Now add x to both sides
-6=2x
~2 ~2 Finally divide by 2
-3=x Your answer is x=-3
