Here is the problem.
Represent each quantity with a real number.
A country exported $60,000,000 less than it imported, creating
a negative trade balance.
Is this as simple as -60,000,000? Please help as I am stumped on this. Thanks
That doesn't make sense to me... which quantities? 60,000,000 is already a real number...??? Is that all the question states? Is there anything else in the text that may clarify what it means?

That is all the problem states. Another one of the same problems states the same represent each quantity with a real number and the problem is "The erosion of 5 centimeters (cm) of topsoil from an
Iowa corn field". That is why I am stumped. I don't know if they want the number just so they can say I know what a real number is or what....
Which would be another negative of course. Maybe they just want to see if you know that a real number can be negative?

But why real?
The quantities are integers?

Use Substitution: (2/3)x + (3/4)y = (2/3)(-1/2) + (3/4)(-2/3)
Then multiply the fractions: -2/6 + -6/12
Common denominators: -2/6 + -3/6
Add: -5/6
Answer: -5/6
