Answer:
C and D are the same answers but one of those.
Step-by-step explanation:
Um, I got what Robert got, so by process of elimination, it must be C or D. I used multiplication, so it wasn't subtraction or addition. Meaning whatever a reciprocal is, I didn't do that.
7a ^2 - a^2 + 16
7a^2 - a^2 + 16 = 6a^2 + 16
7a^2 - a^2 + 16
6a^2 + 16
There are 12 white ribbons, 15 red ribbons, and 11 blue ribbons.
38=(w-1)+(w+3)+w
combine like terms
38=2+3w
subtract 2 from both sides
36=3w
divide 3 on both sides
12=w
w-1=b
12-1=b
11=b
w+3=r
12+3=r
15=r

w+r+b=38
15+11+12=38
38=38
