Hey there :)
Now lets name each house
A B C D E F
500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft <-> 500ft <-> 2000ft
Let's say the bus stops at A
= 0 ( from A ) + 500 ( from B ) + 500 + 500 ( from C ) + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 0 + 500 + 1000 + 1500 + 2000 + 4000
= 9000 ft
at B
= 500 ( from A ) + 0 ( from B ) + 500 ( from C ) + 500 + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 500 + 0 + 500 + 1000 + 1500 + 3500
= 7000 ft
at C
= 500 ( from A ) + 500 + 500 ( from B ) + 0 ( from C ) + 500 ( from D ) + 500 + 500 ( from E ) + 500 + 500 + 2000 ( from F )
= 500 + 1000 + 0 + 500 + 1000 + 3000
= 6000 ft
Do the same for D , E and F
at D
= 6000 ft
at E
= 7000 ft
at F
= 15000 ft
You will find that the bus should stop at either C or D to make the sum of distances from every house to the stop as small as possible.
answer:
Cami is 35 and Enrique is 11
35 plus 11 = 46
ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given expression is

We can see that (x+2) is the greatest common factor.
We factor to obtain;

The correct choice is C.
Answer : - Symmetric property of equality tells that for all real numbers p and q, if p=q then q=p which means if we interchange the sides of an equation then the equation is still a true statement .
For example :-
1. We know that 4+5 =9 then by symmetric property we can also say that 9=4+5.
2. If 5x+5=7 then by symmetric property of inequality 7=5x+5.
