@swfoster and @Ark3145 Do not give direct answers! We are here to help and not here to cheat. If you give direct answers the person asking the question will not be able to understand.

As you can see, it is not alone at the moment. It is with \(8.5\). Now we need to "move" that number to the other side.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If you add the answers to 8.5 you will get your answer
OpenStudy (aihberkhan):
Do you have any idea how you would do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Lol you asked for help i gave it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the answer is still right, right

40.5-8.5
OpenStudy (aihberkhan):
No no. Wait. You will SUBTRACT 8.5 to both sides. Not add.
OpenStudy (aihberkhan):
Yes.
OpenStudy (aihberkhan):
So what is 40.5 - 8.5?

32.3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes, its right . To figure this problem the easy way, all you need to do is add all of the answer choices to 8.5 until you get the answer you're looking for . In this case, 40.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
It would be 32
OpenStudy (aihberkhan):
I have no idea. ..
