Answer 1

Answer:

Its b

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 20 – 0.75(10 + 2)

Answer 2

Answer:

The linear equation that represent the situation is $x=20-0.75(10+2)$

The remaining balance on his gift card is $\ 11$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> represents the remaining balance

we know that

The linear equation that represent the situation is equal to

$x=20-0.75(10+2)$

Solve

$x=20-0.75(12)$

$x=20-9$

$x=\ 11$
