Answer:
C) y -1 = -8
Step-by-step explanation:
The solutions to the various equations are ...
w = -7/-4 = 1.75 . . . . . divide by -4
x = 3/2 = 1.50 . . . . . . .divide by 2
y = -7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .add 1
z = 5 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 1
The value farthest from 0 is y = -7, corresponding to choice C.
