Write and solve a word problem that can be modeled by addition of two negative numbers integers

A word problem that can be modeled by addition of two negative numbers integers is given as followed.

Evans and Irvin are standing at the same spot. Evans took 7 steps backwards and another 7 steps backward, what is the current position of Evans relative to where Irvin is standing?

To solve the above, we note that Evans took 7 steps backwards and another 7 steps backward, thus his current position relative to Irvin is given by (-7) + (-7) = -7 - 7 = -14.

Therefore, Evans is 14 steps backwards relative to where Irvin is standing.

The answer is: y would equal 3 because if you simplify the equation then it would be y= 3x+9 and if you divide 3x and 9 by 3 it would equal 3. y= 3

If you divide 0.1 and 0.6 you wii get 0.166666 which rounds to .167 which is answer b
