First write what are given from the question
We write "<span>Craig scored 12 points in a game" as
</span>⇒ c = 12 <em>(first equation)</em>
We write "<span>Marla scored twice as many points as Craig but 5 fewer than Nelson scored" as
</span>⇒ m = 2c <em>(second equation)</em>
⇒ m = n - 5 <em>(third equation)</em>
<span>
Second, find the expression for n based on what we write above
</span>From the second and third equation
⇒ m = m
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
Subtitute from the first equation
⇒ n - 5 = 2c
⇒ n - 5 = 2(12)
⇒ n - 5 = 24
This is the expression to find how many nelson scored
n - 5 = 24

Answer:
Take a look at my notes. I hope this helps.
The answer is D because in order to find the area of a parallelogram you must multiply the base by the height which is 5 1/4 and 4 1/2.
Hope this helped you and would love brainliest!
