Answer:
(a) 1. Distributive property 2. Combine like terms 3. Addition property of equality 4. Division property of equality
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacement of -1/2(8x +2) by -4x -1 is use of the <em>distributive property</em>, eliminating choices B and D.
In step 3, addition of 1 to both sides of the equation is use of the <em>addition property of equality</em>, eliminating choice C. This leaves only choice A.

<em>Additional comment</em>
This problem makes a distinction between the addition property of equality and the subtraction property of equality. They are essentially the same property, since addition of +1 is the same as subtraction of -1. The result shown in Step 3 could be from addition of +1 to both sides of the equation, or it could be from subtraction of -1 from both sides of the equation.
In general, you want to add the opposite of the number you don't want. Here, that number is -1, so we add +1. Of course, adding an opposite is the same as subtracting.
In short, you can argue both choices A and C have correct justifications. The only reason to prefer choice A is that we usually think of adding positive numbers as <em>addition</em>, and adding negative numbers as <em>subtraction</em>.

Answer:
360
Step-by-step explanation:
f varies directly as g
f = kg where k is the constant of variation
f varies inversely as h
f = kg/h
We know g = 198 when h = –11 and f = –6. Substituting in
-6 = k*198/(-11)
-6 =k*(-18)
Dividing each side by -18
-6/-18 = k*-18/-18
1/3 =k
Our equation is
f = 1/3 g/h
Letting f = 12 and h = 10
12 = 1/3 g/10
Multiply each side by 10
12*10 =1/3 g/10*10
120 = 1/3 g
Multiply each side by 3
120*3 =1/3 g *3
360 =g
Order doesn't mater so use combinations:
6C3 = 6!/ (3! (6-3)! ) = 6! /(3!*3!) = 6*5*4*3! / (3! 3!) = 6*5*4/3*2*1) = 20
