Answer: 4
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3(-2) + 4(3) = -6 + 12 = 6
b) 2(-2) -3(3) +5 = -4 -9 + 5 = -8
c) 4(-2) -(3) = -8 -3 = -11
d) -(-2) -2(3) = 4 -6 = -2
e) (1/2)(-2) +(3) = -1 +3 = 2
f) (2/3)(3) -(1/2)(-2) = 2 + 1 = 3
The correct answer is: [C]: " p = 6.25 h " .

Explanation:
______________________________________________________
It is clear that "pay" is a function of "hours worked" ;
So, we can eliminate: "Choice [B]: " h = <span>6.25p" .
______________________________________________________
Try, Choice [A]: " </span>p = h + 12.5 " ; and 14.50 ≠ 12.50 ; (12.50 is the amount shown in the table. So, we can already eliminate "Choice [A]".
<span>_____________________________________________
Now that we have eliminated choices [A] and [B];
we are left with choices: [C] and [D]:
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [C]: " </span><span>p = 6.25h " ;
</span> when "h = 2" ; does: "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)?? ;
i.e. " 12.5 =? 6.25 * (2) ?? Yes! This choice is a POSSIBILITY.
_____________________________________________
Consider choice [D]: " p = 12.5h" .
When "h = 2, does "p = 12.5" (as shown on table)? No!
→ We can see from this very answer choice
(the equation itself) that when "h = 2" ;
the value of "p" is DOUBLE [that of "12.5"].
________________________________________________
The correct answer is: Answer choice: [C]: " <span>p = 6.25 h " .
