Answer:
C) 99 + 3x
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it's always going to cost 99, it'll stay like that since it's a constant
Since it's 3 PER person, that means 3 will have a variable: 3x
Use the app Photomath it literally helps with everything and it explains
Let f be the height of the fir trees
Let p be the height of the pine trees
We know from the problem that
f + p = 21 and 4f = 24 + p
rearrange the 2nd equation to get p = 4f - 24 and substitute into the other equation
so...
f + 4f - 24 = 21
5f - 24 = 21
5f = 45
f = 9 - height of the fir tree
substitute back into the 1st equation
9 + p = 21
p = 12 - height of the pine tree
You can again ignore the parenthesis because you are not distributing anything.
Your equation will look like this
3x + 11 + 6x
You can move each of these numbers around any way you like. You can combine the 3x and the 6x if you want, but they did not do that. You cannot take the x away and put it in front of the 11 though.
B. is your answer. All they did was move the 6x inside the parenthesis and the 11 out of the parenthesis.
Always remember, when you are adding things together, the parenthesis don't matter!
