The answer is B. They are saying to cube the difference therefore you have (x-43) cubed
First, let x or any variable represent the number of paintings Kate initially has. After selling 12 of it, her paintings now becomes only x - 12. Then, she purchased 7 more making the number of her paintings become x - 12 + 7 = x - 5. This number tantamount to 21.
x - 5 = 21 ; x = 26
Thus, Kate initially had 26 paintings.
The first penalty they received is three 15 yards so total yards is 3(15 yards)
the second penalty is one 5 yard
the last penalty is half the 34 yard line(34 yard)/2
total change = 3(15 yards) + 5 yrad + (34 yard)/2
= 45 yards + 5 yards + 17 yards= 67yards
