Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 5n - 2

Thank you,

A. Multiplied by 2 for the first then for the second multiply by three.
Explanation: the equations already have opposite signs for y so reversing the signs would be counterproductive. (Eliminates B and D) and the easiest way is to get the numbers before the Y variable to be the same. The top by 2 and bottom by 3 would do that, leaving only A.
First we need to know how much the discount was so 5% is actually 0.05 then we need to multiply it by 53.75 which would equal 2.6875 then subtract it by 53.75 which would equal -51.0625.
B) .95(53.75)
This is a trick question because D) could also be correct if they said you could subtract it but it's not saying use the distributive property.
