C. (9 + 5)t
D. (5 × t) + 9
E. 5 + 9t

please a proper answer

Answer 1

A.

B. (if the black block represents a multiplication sign)

D.

Explanation:

We have the expression "Nine more than the product of 5 times the number of tires t". Let's focus on nine more to cross out some answers, "nine more than the" indicates that there must be a certain operation to happen first before 9 is added onto it. So cross out the answers that do not have this property. C and E.

Leaving us with the only last three answers that represent it. (If B. is a multiplication sign)
