OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh srry. im more of a english kinda gal, im sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its fine Thanks for helping tho @cupcakerain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is A

Nnesha (nnesha):

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

Nnesha (nnesha):

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