The answer is B) multiply 3 by 3. With that 2 on top, that doesn't mean 3 times 2, that means multiply 3 by itself, however many times the number says, if that makes sense. So if there's a 2 above the 3, then that would be 3*3. If it was a 5 instead of a two, that would mean 3*3*3*3*3. Not 3*5.
small frames ($8): s
large frames ($15): L
Cost: 8s + 15L = 239 ⇒ 1(8s + 15L = 239) ⇒ 8s + 15L = 239
Quantity: s + L = 22 ⇒ -8( s + L = 22) ⇒ <u> -8s -8 L = -176 </u>
7L = 63
L = 9
Quantity: s + L = 22 ⇒ s + (9) = 22 ⇒ s = 13
Answer: 13 small frames, 9 Large frames
