I'd say a based upon the properties and the rules followed

@Utterly_Confuzzled i dont understand
OpenStudy (utterly_confuzzled):
Okay, so in this problem, distributive property is completely irrelevant, so you can mark out B.
Associative property is (a+b)+c = a+(b+c), which doesn't happen in the answers. That narrows it down to A or D.
D ends up being wrong because 7+19 is 26, not 36. That leaves A as your answer

can you help me in this one too?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A. 3<6n
B. 6/n - 3
C. 6n - 3
D. 3 - 6n
OpenStudy (utterly_confuzzled):
Yes
It would be 6x-3 because that is 3 less than 6 times a number
OpenStudy (utterly_confuzzled):
So C
