Answer:
I'm pretty sure it's A. Hope this helps!
2(x +1) = 16
Use the distributive property ( multiply 2 by each term inside the parenthesis).
2x + 2 = 16
Subtract 2 from both sides:
2x = 14
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 7
A. 16x11 = 176 + 30x8.75 = 262.5. 176+262.5 = 438.5. Not 470
B. 20x11 = 220 + 26x8.75 = 227.5. 220+227.5 = 448. Not 470
C. 30x11 = 330 + 16x8.75 = 140. 330+140 = 470. C. is the correct answer
D. 31x11 = 341 + 15x8.75 = 131.25. 341+131.25 = 472.25 Not 470
