1. points a and b are to be mapped onto a number line according to two equations. the solution to the equation 2/3 a= -24 is the coordinate of point a. the solution to the equation 20=-b/0.5 is the coordinate of point b. (c) determine the distance between points a and b

The solution to the equation 2/3 A= -24 is the coordinate of point A.

2/3 A = -24
A = -24 / 2/3
A = -24 * 3/2
A = -72/2
A = -36

The solution to the equation 20=-b/0.5 is the coordinate of point B

20 = -b/0.5
20 * 0.5 = -b
10 = -b
10/-1 = -b/-1
-10 = b

A = -36 and B = -10

The distance between the two letters is 26 units. 

Cwill be your correct answer
