Answer 3

A. correct....

B. 50x + .6(200) = 1620 --- distributive property
50x + 120 = 1620 -- subtract 120 from each side -- subtraction property ??
50x = 1620 - 120
50x = 1500 -- divide by 50 -- division property
x = 1500/50
x = 30

C. correct ..

Answer 8

i would have prefered a more interactive solution process .... but yeah, word problems get to be a pain after awhile.

Answer 9

also, the 'property' used is author specific in many cases.

Answer 10

Yes a more interactive solution would have been nice but what I got was just as good. I didnt just look at the answer I tried doing it with the information as if I was trying to do it myself and checking afterward like everyone is meant to do if someone helps but they dont.
