The constant term in the equation is -20 because you will always be subtracting 20 no matter how big x is
First, we're going to see the candies per minute that machine C packs.
150 / 2 = 75
Now that we know that machine C packs 75 candies per minute, we're going to multiply the candies machine C makes by 11 minutes.
75 x 11 = 825
We're now gonna do the same with machine D.
130 x 11 = 1430
Then we're going to find the difference between machine C and machine D, we do this because the question basically asks how much more candies can machine D pack than machine C.
1430 - 825 = 605 candies.
This is how we find our final answer.
Our answer would be D) 605.
Hope this helps!~
Subtracting a negative integer is the same as adding a positive integer. Adding a positive integer to any number always makes the answer larger than the original number. Therefore, if you subtract one negative integer from another your answer will be always be *greater* than the integer you started with.
