An equation is shown below: 4(x − 3) − 5(x + 1) = 3 which statement shows a correct next step in solving the equation? a.) the equation can become 4x − 12 − 5x − 5 = 3 by applying the associative property of multiplication. b.) the equation can become 4x − 3 − 5x + 1 = 3 by applying the associative property of multiplication. c.) the equation can become 4x − 3 − 5x + 1 = 3 by applying the distributive property. d.) the equation can become 4x − 12 − 5x − 5 = 3 by applying the distributive property. ((i chose this answer))

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
