Hello peepers! I need help ASAP please. Thanks!

Answer 1

The answer would be C because you are subtracting 3 by a number(x) because you are REMOVING garbage. And if you remove the x from 3x and replace it with the number of weeks, you'll get the number of loads dumped. For example -3(5)+60. Follow your order of operations. Multiply first to get -15. Then add that to 60. You will get 45, which is the correct answer because in the problem, the number of loads are 45. Or how about this, -3(10)+60. Multiply first to get -30, then add positive 60 to get 30 overall. Since 30 is the number of loads removed in the problem, your answer is correct, thus, making the correct equation C.
