Question

Determine which of these does NOT illustrate two quantities that combine to make 0.
A) Jane collects 12 seashells and then loses 12.
B) Sharon lost 8 pounds and then gained 10 pounds.
C) A business's profit if its income is equal to its expenses.
D) Frank wins five dollars and pays back a $5 debt to a friend.

Answer 1

I think its A

Answer 2

In option A, the number of shells gained is equal to the number of shells lost. You can think of it as 12 - 12, which does give us 0.
All of the other options, except one of them, also gives a result of 0. The question is asking to choose the only option that does not equal 0.

B?
