i guess its A bec total left is 50 so its should be positive
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its A, because the total number of bikes (x) and you sell 35 you have 50 left. Which means if you take all the bikes together (35 +50) it would be 85. so 85 - 50 =35 and that's correct

equation should be like this |dw:1419214223906:dw|
