In order to solve for the variable in the equation 2 (x + 3) + 5 x = 3 (2 x minus 1), Jaleesa begins by applying the distributive property, then combines like terms. Which equation is the result of these steps?
7 x + 6 = 6 x minus 3
2 x + 6 + 5 x = 6 x minus 3
2 x + 3 + 5 x = 6 x minus 1
7 x + 3 = 6 x minus 1

The dot plot below shows the number of toys 21 shops sold in an hour: dot plot labeled number of toys sold shows 6 dots over 0, 4 dots over 1, 3 dots over 2, 3 dots over 3, 2 dot over 4 and 3 dots over 9 is the median or the mean a better center for this data and why? median; because the data is not symmetric and there are outliers median; because the data is symmetric and there are no outliers mean; because the data is symmetric and there are no outliers mean; because the data is skewed and there are outliers
