Answer:

Part (A): The correct option is C) x + $9 = $21

Part (B): The correct option is B) $12

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Part (A)

Karen buys a picture frame on sale for $9.

A week later she buys the same frame for the regular price.

Let the regular price is x dollar.

The total price for the frames is $21.

Therefore the required equation is:


x+9=21

Hence, the correct option is C) x + $9 = $21

Part (B) Find the regular price.

Consider the equation
x+9=21

Solve the equation for x.


x+9-9=21-9


x=12

Hence, the regular price of the frame is $12.

Therefore, the correct option is B) $12
