The situation that describes opposite quantities that when combined would equal 0 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 the first option: Eileen moves seven spaces forward, then she moves seven spaces back in a game.
To get to this answer, you need to understand the concept of opposites canceling each other out. In this case, moving forward and moving backward are opposite movements. When Eileen moves seven spaces forward and then moves seven spaces back, the forward movement cancels out the backward movement. Therefore, the net result is zero.
The other options do not involve opposite quantities that cancel each other out. For example, in the second option, Eileen moves seven spaces forward and then moves two spaces back. These movements are not opposites, so they do not result in zero. The third option involves a fee and withdrawal, which also does not cancel out to zero. The fourth option involves multiple deposits, but again, there are no opposite quantities canceling each other out. Therefore, the correct answer is the first option.
