Option 1 =$497.5 option 2 =$494.5 option 3 =$50.5
Answer: A.
They did not distribute the 3 to the 4 and -5a correctly.
Let x be the certain number and that six time this number may be expressed as 6x. Based on the conditions presented above, the sum of 6x and 8 should be equal to 32. This may be mathematically expressed as,
6x + 8 = 32
Therefore, the answer is fourth choice.
It is given in the question that
Ann, Chang, and Kareem sent a total of 89 text messages over their cell phones during the weekend. Ann sent 9 fewer messages than Chang. Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann.
Let number of messages Chang sent be x. And Ann sent 9 fewer than Chang, so Ann sent (x-9) messages. And Kareem sent 3 times as many messages as Ann, so Kareem sent 3(x-9) messages.
And the total messages are 89. That is

Combining like terms

So Chang sent 25 messages, Ann sent

And Kareem sent

I think its 32 minus 16 which is 16, dont forget to label!
