explain
Marty getting ten dollars for his allowance and then spending eight dollars at the movies illustrates two quantities that combine to make 0. Initially, Marty has ten dollars and after spending eight dollars, he has two dollars remaining. The combination of receiving ten dollars and spending eight dollars results in a net increase of two dollars.
The example that illustrates two quantities combining to make 0 is:
Jake lost 10 dollars, but then earned 10 dollars doing chores.
In this example, Jake's initial loss of 10 dollars is cancelled out by earning 10 dollars, resulting in a total of 0.
To determine which of these options illustrates two quantities that combine to make 0, we need to look for situations where something is gained or earned, but then an equal or opposite amount is lost or spent.
Option 1: Jake lost 10 dollars, but then earned 10 dollars doing chores.
This option does not illustrate two quantities that combine to make 0. Jake losing 10 dollars and then earning 10 dollars would result in a net gain of 0 dollars.
Option 2: A business made a profit, meaning it earned more money than it spent.
This option does not illustrate two quantities that combine to make 0. Making a profit means earning more money than the amount spent, resulting in a positive gain.
Option 3: It is thirty degrees below zero and then the temperature rises fifteen degrees.
This option does not illustrate two quantities that combine to make 0. The temperature rising fifteen degrees from -30 degrees would result in a temperature higher than zero.
Option 4: Marty gets ten dollars for his allowance and then spends eight dollars at the movies.
This option illustrates two quantities that combine to make 0. Marty getting ten dollars and then spending eight dollars would result in a net gain of 2 dollars.
Therefore, option 4 illustrates two quantities that combine to make 0.
