. Which situation will likely have a negative correlation?
daily temperature versus thickness of clothing
number of items bought versus cost
bottles of water versus number of chairs
number of paintings created versus amount of paint used

daily temperature versus thickness of clothing

number of items bought versus cost

Step-by-step explanation:

As the daily temperature INCREASES,the thickness of clothing is likely to DECREASE. So there is a negative correlation between the two.As the cost of the item INCREASES, the number of items bought will potentially DECREASE. So there is a negative correlation between the two.There is no definite relationship between bottles of water and number of chairs.As the number of painting created INCREASES, the amount of paint used is likely to INCREASE thereby signaling a positive correlation.

Hence only the first two options depict a possible negative correlation.

-2x + 7 = 7

subtract 7 from both sides.

-2x = 0

divide both sides by -2.

x = 0

the value of x is equal to 0.
