The question is asking you to come up with a real-life example of something that can be represented as 15+ c= 17.50. If I were you I would do sales tax. You bought an item with a 15 dollar price tag, but when you go to check out 2.50 are added in tax to equal 17.50. to solve subtract 15 from 17.50: c= 2.50.  Your variable (c) represents the sales tax.  Hope that helps! :)
        
             
        
        
        
You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides. 
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
        
             
        
        
        
8,000,000 pennies equals $80,000. 1/.05=20
20 x $80,000=$1,600,000 more that the bank was able to lend

Answer: B) Linear pair postulate</h3>
Explanation:
As the name implies, "linear pair" means the two angles combine to form a straight line of 180 degrees. Think of gluing the angles together. 
As an example, let's say angle 1 was 50 degrees and angle 4 is 130 degrees. They combine to 50+130 = 180 which is a straight angle. I recommend using a protractor to help draw these angles.
