if you start from 0, how many steps do you have to take to get to -3. what does the number of steps represent

3 steps

Step-by-step explanation:

FIrst of all, if you think about it, we can just say -3 as 3 ( even though they are not equal, were just counting steps.)

On a number line, negative numbers are on the left of 0 and positive on the right of 0.

So, lets say the middle number is 0 on our number line. -3 is 3 steps to the left. We take 1 step to negative 1, another step to -2, and then a 3rd and final step to -3.

The steps represent how far the number is from 0. FIr example, we have to add 3 to -3 to get to 0, like how we add 7 to 0 to get 7!

Hope this helps!

just pick what you think i need more time let me know if this

step-by-step explanation:

system of linear equation

step-by-step explanation:

as given in the data

a= 20 , b= -12

let us suppose that it is a straight line equation

now we know the formula for the system of linear equation

b= ma + c )

here m is slope of a straight line which is equal to formula

m=   (ii)

and here c is a constant

now putting the value of a and b in equation (ii)

m=

m=

putting the value of a,b and m in equation (i) gives us

-12 = + c

-12=-12 + c

adding 12 to both sides

-12 +12 = -12 +12 +c

0 =c

or c=0

as the value of the constant is zero which gives us that it is a linear equation and this order pair satisfies the system of linear equations.
