The map of Janelle’s farm shows the location of the pond on her property. Each unit of the coordinate plane represents 10 yards.
She wants to build a barn that is 40 yards west of the pond. Which coordinates could be the location of the barn?
A. (5, 2)
B. (–3, 2)
C. (1, –2)
D. (–2, 2)
So first you distribute the negative to the 6x and 13 which will flip the sign of both of them to -6x and -13 so take away the parentheses and the equation is now 7x-6x-13. You combine the x’s and you get 1x-13 or x-13
