Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, we are expected to write/express the given statement in algebra notation. that is using mathematical expression letters and symbols to express word problem
Hence: nine times the difference of 5 and y
1. the difference of 5 and y= (5-y)
2. 9*(5-y)
Hence the expression is given as 
Okay so I really could be wrong but ima say C it makes most sense to me
The first digit is 9 or 8.
The fifth odd number you count beginning with one is 9.
Let the middle number be x.
If the first number is 8, then 8 + x + 9 = 22 => 17 + x = 22 => x = 22 - 17 = 5. then the number is 859 which approximates to 900 to to the nearest hundred.
If the number is 9, then 9 + x + 9 = 22 => 18 + x = 22 => x = 22 - 18 = 4, then the number is 949, which also approximates to 900 to the nearest hundred.
Therefore, the required number is 859 or 949.
The answer should be 8 dogs are terriers
