I believe your answer would be c.
When a () is right next to a number such as the problem you have it means to multiply. so 77 times -1 equals -77. so i'm not sure why -77 isn't one of your answer choices. maybe you mistyped something?

x = 80
Step-by-step explanation:
1x + 0.2x = 96
1.2x = 96
Divide both sides by 1.2
x = 80
Answer:
3(x² + 1) + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
(f ○ g)(x) = f(g(x))
Substitute x = g(x) into f(x), that is
f(x² + 1) = 3(x² + 1) + 2 ← is the equivalent statement
It depends on the problem really. One example is that you drive 10 miles in 2 hours. So you divide the distance over time to get 10/2 = 5. This means you drove 5 miles per hour (mph). The unit rate for this example is 5 mph.
