According to the associative property of equality: (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) we can see that the parenthesis do not mean anything when we are only doing addition.
So answers 1. and 3. are correct.

Answer:
B
y = 3 cos (pi/12x - pi/4) + 17
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the average temperature which is 20 + 14/2 = 17
Find the amplitude
20 - 17 = 3
This means that that at noon, the shift is 3hrs past
the best equation that represents this scenario is 
19/29
Find the common factor which in this case is 2. Divide numerator and denominator by common factor. You’re left with 19/29. Since 19 and 29 don’t have any common factors it is in its simplest form.
Answer: 2t + -8
Step-by-step explanation: Let's simplify this problem using the distributive property.
The first thing we want to do is change this minus to plus a negative.
Now we can distribute or multiply this 2 times
each of the terms inside the set of parentheses.
So we get 2(t) + 2(-4) and this simplifies to 2t + -8.
2t + -8 is the same thing as 2t -8.
