Answer:

D. 160

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by proportions, using a rule of three.

In this question:

For each 3 white carnations, 5 yellows are needed, which leaves us with 8 total carnations. So for 60 white, the total is:

3 white - 8 total

60 white - x total

$3x = 60*8$

Dividing both sides by 3

$x = 20*8 = 160$

The correct answer is given by option D.

(2p + 7)(3p-9)
2p x 3p= 6p^2
2p x -9= -18p
7 x 3p=21p
7 x -9=-63
6p^2 - 18p + 21p - 63
6p^2 + 3p -63 is the answer.
