Write in an integer that represents your height on the teeter totter that is relative to the balance point height: you are 8 inches below the balance point height or you are 15 inches the balance point height---your height is the opposite or your friend is 12 inches above the balance point height--your height is the opposite or you are resting at the balance point height?
If you are 8 inches below the balance point height, your height on the teeter totter would be -8 inches.
If you are 15 inches above the balance point height, your height on the teeter totter would be +15 inches.
If your friend is 12 inches above the balance point height, your height on the teeter totter would be -12 inches.
If you are resting at the balance point height, your height on the teeter totter would be 0 inches.
To determine your height relative to the balance point height on the teeter totter, we need to consider the given information:
1. You are 8 inches below the balance point height: In this case, you would have a negative height since you are lower than the balance point. Let's represent this as -8 inches.
2. You are 15 inches above the balance point height: In this case, you would have a positive height since you are higher than the balance point. Let's represent this as +15 inches.
3. Your friend is 12 inches above the balance point height: Since it refers to your friend's height, this information doesn't directly relate to your height. It's just stated that your friend's height is 12 inches above the balance point.
4. You are resting at the balance point height: When you are resting at the balance point, your height is equal to the balance point height, which is 0 inches.
So, considering these options, you have three possible heights:
-8 inches (when you are 8 inches below)
+15 inches (when you are 15 inches above)
0 inches (when you are resting at the balance point)
