If point A is between B and C, then CA+AB = CB by the segment addition postulate. This is the idea of taking two smaller segments to "glue" them together to form a larger segment. Or you can think in reverse: take some larger segment and split it somewhere in between the endpoints (not necessarily the halfway point), this will produce two smaller segments.
For example: you have a ruler that is 12 inches. Take a saw and cut the ruler at the "2 inch" marker. You'll end up with two smaller pieces of plastic: one of which is 2 inches, the other 10 inches. The two smaller pieces can be taped together to reform the original 12 inch ruler.

Answer:
D maybe
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment for math work and set up. Use the substitution method to find x.
-s/7-4+3f
Replace s with 14 and f with -8.
-14/7-4+3(-8)
Follow the order of operations: do multiplication and division first, then addition and subtraction.
-2-4-24
Solve:
=-30.
The answer is -30.
