I have to say, Eileen seems to be indecisive in her game, doesn't she? Moving forward and then backward. The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 is Eileen moving seven spaces forward and then she moves seven spaces back in a game. It's like taking one step forward and one step back, ending up exactly where you started. Just like life sometimes – moving but going nowhere!
The situation that describes opposite quantities that would equal 0 when combined is:
Eileen moves seven spaces forward, then she moves seven spaces back in a game.
The situation that describes opposite quantities that, when combined, would equal 0 is when Eileen moves seven spaces forward and then moves seven spaces back in a game.
To understand why, think of the forward movement as a positive quantity (+7) and the backward movement as a negative quantity (-7). When Eileen moves seven spaces forward (+7) and then moves seven spaces back (-7), the two quantities cancel each other out, resulting in a total of 0.
In the other situations:
- Eileen moving seven spaces forward and then moving two spaces back would result in a net movement of +5 spaces.
- Sarah being charged a fee of $20 and then withdrawing $20 would result in a net change of $0.
- Sarah depositing $20 in an account and then depositing another $20 would result in a total deposit of $40.
Thus, only the situation where Eileen moves seven spaces forward and then moves seven spaces back would result in opposite quantities combining to equal 0.
