The real way is to subtract the term with the variable on the right first, but both Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. When you do them both, they arrive at the same answer, only that Spencer's would be 2/5, and Jeremiah's would be -2/-5, which is 2/5, because you divide negative by a negative. It doesn't matter which term with the variable you would cancel out first. Either way, you still arrive at the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so they used a total of 560 units
we are next told that if the units of usage are 360 or less use the 1st formula, but there is morn than 360 units in the given amount so use the 2nd formula
0.1(x-360+54)
0.1(560-360) + 54 = monthly bill
20+54 = monthly bill
74 = monthly bill
answer D looks good
