I found that Joe has 28 red pepper plants and 8 green pepper plants.
to find this, I first set up a proportion:
7/2 = (20+x)/x
then you cross multiply giving you:
7x = 40 + 2x
Subtract 2x from both sides:
5x = 40
solve for x:
x = 8 (which is the amount of green pepper plants)
to find how many red pepper plants he has, plug in x for (20 + x) giving you 28 red pepper plants
Hope I helped :)
You can remove the first plus sign to give:
-1.3 -4.9 [ because + x - = - ]
and by the same rule you can remove the the second plus sign to give
-1.3 -4.9 - 2.6
That means option b is out because it is positive.
straight away we can see that option D. equals the result, so it is in the running, so now can we eliminate c and a?
we can eliminate a because the minus ign outside the bracket multiplied by -4.9 inside the bracket produces + 4.9, which is not the answer, so that only leaves c.
once again, a plus sign outside the bracket does not produce -4.9 when muliplied by 4.9 inside the bracket inside option c, so we can eliminate option c.

Answer (D)
Any negative or positive number inside an absolute value will always come out positive.
