A.
0.10(n + 6) + 0.05n = 2.10
 
 B.
0.10n + 0.05n + 6 = 2.10
 
 C.
0.10n + 0.05(n + 6) = 2.10
 
 D.
0.10(n – 6) + 0.05n = 2.10

0.05n + 0.10(n-6) = 2.10
is the same as
0.10(n-6) + 0.05n = 2.10
when doing addition and multiplication the order does not matter.
this is known as the associative property @itsannalea
