Answer 2

Option D

ANSWER:

Rosa brought d drawings to an art show. The equation that represents this situation is d - 17 = 22; d = 39

SOLUTION:

Given, Rosa brought d drawings to an art show.  

After selling 17 of them, she had 22 left.

We have find the total drawings brought by rosa and the equation representing the situation.

Now, let us find the equation that represents the situation.

At first, she had d drawings.

Then she sold 17 drawings, so she has d – 17 drawings.

Finally she has 22 drawings, which means d – 17 = 22.

So the equation is d – 17 = 22.

From the above equation,

d = 22 + 17  = 39.

Hence, the correct option is d.
