B.
she cries like an old woman when she found out.
Word choice is used to get a point across. So if you look a choice A, the author definitely does not feel that the manufacturers are striving to provide COMPLETE information (or there wouldn't be the questions). I would say the same thing for D, making that an incorrect answer. Looking at B and C, the author does use exaggeration in personification, but he doesn't mention sales. He does however set a frustrated tone and touches on confusion of the customers, so I feel that C is the best answer here.
Answer:
x = 13/3 or 4.3 repeating (4.333333.....)
Explanation:
3x + 2(4x - 6) = 8x + 1
3x + 8x - 12 = 8x + 1 (expand using distributive property)
11x - 12 = 8x + 1 (combine like terms)
11x - 12 + 12 = 8x + 1 + 12 (add 12 to both sides)
11x = 8x + 13 (simplify)
11x - 8x = 8x - 8x + 13 (subtract 8x from both sides)
3x = 13 (simplify)
3x/3 = 13/3 (divide both sides by 3)
x = 13/3 or 4.3 repeating (4.333333.....)
