Answer:
I am pretty sure the answer is 30 blocks :)
4 + 11 + 6 + 9 = 30 blocks
So to answer you just have to substitute all the given choices into the formula and see which come out true.
2(1) - 3(-3) >_ 12
2 + 9 >_ 12
11 >_ 12
XNXOXPXEX
2(8) - 3(1) >_ 12
16 - 3 >_ 12
13 >_ 12
VYVEVSV
2(3) - 3(2) >_ 12
6 - 6 >_ 12
0 >_ 12
XNXOXPXEX
2(-2) - 3(-6) >_ 12
-4 + 18 >_ 12
14 >_ 12
VYVEVSV
2(2) - 3(3) >_ 12
4 - 9 >_ 12
-5 >_ 12
XNXOXPXEX
2(1) - 3(8) >_ 12
2 - 24 >_ 12
-22 >_ 12
XNXOXPXEX
2(-3) - 3(1) >_ 12
-6 - 3 >_ 12
-9 >_ 12
XNXOXPXEX
VYVEVSV = yes
XNXOXPXEX = nope
Log16 4 = 2
log base 16 then the number four then set that equal to 2
When two variables have a positive linear correlation, the dependent variable increases as the independent variable increases. So when the independent variable decreases, the dependent variable decreases as well. Both variables decrease and increase simultaneously.
Note: two negatives multiplied together = one positive answer
one negative & one positive multiplied together = one negative answer
Multiply -8 and -3 together
-8(-3) = 24
24(-2) = -48
-48(4) = -192
D) -192 is your answer
hope this helps
