A.

16x- 10x= 6x....99-9=90, 90/6= 15!! so its non of the above

anonymous · Answer

It's definitely A because if you plug it in, it works out correctly: 16(10)- 10(10)+9 = 99-30

anonymous · Answer

I just used a calculator. I replaced the x for each of the answer choices to see which would fit. Its the Process of elimination basically. You could solve it mathematically but in my opinion, it takes longer.
