Answer:
c. 5x - 3 = 125
Step-by-step explanation:
Mrs. Jones deducts $3 from each of her 5 children's allowances this week because they didn't finish their chores. They then received a total of $125 in allowance. a. 5(x - 3) = 125
b. 5x - 15 = 125
c. 5x - 3 = 125
d. 5x = 140
Solution:
Let x represent the allowance for each of Mrs. Jones children. Since she deducts $3 from each children because they didn't finish their chores, the allowance for each child becomes x - 3.
There are 5 children, hence the allowance for the 5 children would be:
5(x-3)
Since they received a total of $125 in allowance, hence:
5(x-3) = 125
5x - 15 = 125
5x = 125 + 15
5x = 140
Option c is wrong
Correct option - B
Let's check all of them
A. 93 x 1 = 93 its not equal to -93
B. 31 x -3 = -93 ,this one matches
C. -31 x -3 = 93, again not equal
D. -93 x -1 = 93, not equal
So the answer is B
