Answer:

C

Explanation:

So lets look at the first equation.

This would represent 60-15=x

This is because 60 shells minus 15 shells she gave away.

Next is B, whihc is also 60-15=x

This is because Mr yungs brother is 60 years old and mr yung is 15 years younger.

Next is c, whihc is 60+15=x

This is because they had 60, gave 15 already, and want to find out what they started with.

FInally we are left with d.

This is 15+x=60

Well...none of those look like x-15=60

But lets go back to c:

60+15=x

Lets try to rwwrite this.

Subtract 15 from both sides, and you get:

60=x-15

Just make this proper by putting the x-15 before the 60:

x-15=60

That looks like x-15=60

Now we know our answer!

C

Hope this helps ;)
