On a coordinate grid ming's house is located 2 blocks to the right and 5 blocks up from (0,0). joe house is located 3 blocks to the right and 2 blocks down from ming's house. what ordered pair describes the location of joe house?

  (5, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Conventionally, the ordered pairs are (right, up). Then ...

Ming's = (0, 0) + (2, 5) = (2, 5)

Joe's = Ming's + (3, -2) = (2, 5) + (3, -2) = (2+3, 5-2)

Joe's = (5, 3)

-2 or 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The range is the difference between the smallest number and the largest number.  Currently, the smallest number is 2 and the largest number is 13.

If we leave 2 as the smallest number, then the new largest number needed for the range to be 15 is:

x − 2 = 15

x = 17

If we leave 13 as the largest number, then the new smallest number needed for the range to be 15 is:

13 − x = 15

x = -2

The number could be either -2 or 17.
