Answer 6

when presented two options "the former" is the first one, and "the latter" is the second one.

Answer 7

first one: "she ordered 3 large pizzas that each costs the same amount" means the cost for 3 pizzas is 3c dollars


Since she had a 5 dollar coupon, the total cost is 3c-5


But we know that the total cost (including the coupon) is 31 dollars. So 3c-5 = 31


So it's the first one

The first one is correct, the second one would look like this :
5C-31=3
