I believe the answer would be A.
We know that each number can be divided by two to simplify.
6 / 2 = 3 and 8 / 2 = 4
By dividing, we are getting a simplified version of that fraction.
3 / 4
So Jeremy, in simplified terms, walked 3/4 of the way to school before running 1/4 of the rest of the way.

Alright. So for:
a) 4(x+7)+3(x+5) Here we need to distribute the number outside of the parenthesis to the terms inside. So after distributing, we get 4x+28+3x+15. Then simplify this equation to 7x+43.
b) 3(2a+4b)+9(3a-2b) Same here. We distribute the number outside of the parenthesis to the terms inside. After distributing, we get 6a+12b+27a-18b. Then simplify to get 33a-6b.
c) 2(3u-5)-3(2u+1) As expected, same here. We distribute the number outside of the parenthesis. But here, we have a negative. Remember to distribute that as well. So we get 6u-10-6u-3. Then we simplify and get -13.
d) b(-5v-4)-2b(v+4) -_- Getting a bit boring... We distribute the variable from outside the parenthesis into the terms in the parenthesis. We get -5bv-4b-2bv-8b. Then simplify to get -3bv-12b.
**If you don't understand distributing, just let me know!
