its a, b, and d
i just did this question on edge
and got it right
Assuming you are supposed to solve for the variable "t",
9 - (t ÷ 6) = 5
Subtract 9 from both sides.
9 - 9 - (t ÷ 6) = 5 - 9
Simplify.
- (t ÷ 6) = -4
Distribute -1 throughout the parenthesis.
-t ÷ -6 = -4
Multiply both sides by -6.
-t ÷ -6 × -6 = -4 × -6
Simplify.
-t = 24
Divide both sides by -1.
-t ÷ -1 = 24 ÷ -1
Simplify.
t = -24
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 3 and passes through (1 , 10)
Yes it is correct, because 10 percent is 110/100, which equals to 1.1.
Hope this helps.
