B: 121 cupcakes
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A: </u>
We have the following expression that models the quantity of cupcakes Mrs. Jones baked last week:

Applying distributive property:

Grouping similar terms:

Applying common factor
:
This is the simplified expression
<u>Part B:</u>
Now that we have the simplified expresion, we have to evaluate how many cupcakes did Mrs. Jones bake if
:

Hence, Mrs. Jones baked 121 cupcakes last week
36....we need to break this down...12 * 3 = 36
12 * 3....we can break this down because 12 is not prime...4 * 3 = 12
4 * 3 * 3...we can break the 4 down because it is not prime
2 * 2 * 3 * 3 <==== prime factorization

Answer: C) nonmetal</h3>
This element has 8 protons, so element is oxygen. I recommend looking at the periodic table of elements. At standard temperature and pressure (STP), oxygen is a gas, so that puts it in the nonmetal category.
Side note: Metalloids are a collection of elements where they share properties of metals and nonmetals (in a way they're on the fence).
