Question

Select all of the stories that can be represented by the equation.If none of the stories can be represented, select "None of the above".(a) 12x-24 = 396(b) 8x + 12=124

Answer 1

Notice that given the equation:

`12x-24=396`

we can set the 12x as the pay rate that Donna gets at the amusement park for x hours. Since ther is a negative 24, we can assume that she pays for the transportation after she gets paid.

Since she ended up with a total of $396 at the end of the week, the equation should represent the fourth case
