C I’m pretty sure, if wrong I’m sorry
I’m not sure what the question is? But if you’re referring to Jack then here you go: if Jack had 3 apples and now he ate 2 he would end up with 1 apple left.
Answer:
23
Add positive 14 and 9 to get 23
14 + 9 = 23
-14 + 23 = 9
-3(x+5)=-9
-3x-15=-9
+15 +15
-3x=6
-1x=2
1x=-2
x=-2
