It is given in the question that
Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of 89 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Ann sent 9 fewer messages than Chang. Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann.
Let number of messages Chang sent be x. And Ann sent 9 fewer than Chang, so Ann sent (x-9) messages. And Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann, so Kareem sent 3(x-9) messages.
And the total messages are 89. That is

Combining like terms

So Chang sent 25 messages, Ann sent

And Kareem sent

9514 1404 393
Answer:
a.
Step-by-step explanation:
For an even-index radical, ...
![\sqrt[n]{x^n}=|x|\qquad\text{n even}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5Bn%5D%7Bx%5En%7D%3D%7Cx%7C%5Cqquad%5Ctext%7Bn%20even%7D)
This lets us simplify the given expression as follows:
![\sqrt[4]{81x^6y^4}-|y|\sqrt[4]{x^6}-\sqrt[4]{16x^2}=\sqrt[4]{(3xy)^4x^2}-|y|\sqrt[4]{x^4x^2}-\sqrt[4]{2^4x^2}\\\\=3|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-2\sqrt[4]{x^2}=\boxed{2|xy|\sqrt[4]{x^2}-2\sqrt[4]{x^2}}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B81x%5E6y%5E4%7D-%7Cy%7C%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E6%7D-%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B16x%5E2%7D%3D%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B%283xy%29%5E4x%5E2%7D-%7Cy%7C%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E4x%5E2%7D-%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B2%5E4x%5E2%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D3%7Cxy%7C%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D-%7Cxy%7C%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D-2%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%3D%5Cboxed%7B2%7Cxy%7C%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D-2%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7Bx%5E2%7D%7D)
I think the answer the answer/question is letter C
DONT OPEN THE ANSWER ABOVE ITS A VIRUS. i will give an answer in the comments though
