Which choice gives a valid first step to solve 2(w – 3) = 5? exclude any choice where the explanation for the step is false. a. divide each side by 2. you can then subtract 6 from each side to solve for x. b. divide each side by 2. you end up with fewer terms. c. use the distributive property. you then only have to subtract 6 from each side to solve for x. d. use the distributive property. you clear the parentheses and then solve the two-step equation.

.25

step-by-step explanation:

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
