Juanita used the steps shown below to correctly solve an equation. A step is missing.

-3(c-6)+4c=5(2c+9)

?

c+18=10c+45

c-27=10c

-27=9c

-3=c

Which shows the equation that is most likely a missing step and the property that justifies the step?

• -3c-6+4c=10c+9

  Associative property of addition

• -3c-6+4c=10c+9

  distributive property

• -3c+18+4c=10c+45

  distibutive property

• -3c+18+4c=10c+45

  associative property of addition

A cleaning service offers its customers a choice between the two plans.  
-Plan A costs $3000 and includes 1 year of unlimited cleanings
-Plan B costs $75 per cleaning
Henry wants to choose the less expensive plan.  He uses the inequality 3000<75c to deduce which plan to choose based on the number of cleanings (c) he expects to need.  Based on the solution of this inequality, which statement about Henry's choice of plan is true?

• Henry should choose plan A only if he expects to need fewer than 40 cleanings in 1 year.
• Henry should choose plan A only if he expects to need more than 40 cleanings in 1 year.
• Henry can choose either plan and pat the same amount if he expects to need fewer than 40 cleanings in 1 year.
• Henry can choose either plan and pay the same amount if he expects to need more than 40 cleanings in 1 year.

A baker makes two types of doughnuts.  It costs $0.25 to make each glazed doughnut and $0.30 to make each chocolate doughnut.  The baker wants to  make more than 200 doughnuts for the day but can spend no more than $60.00 making them.  The system of inequalities below describes the relationship between the number of glazed doughnuts (x) and chocolate doughnuts (y) the baker could make for the day.
0.25x+0.30y≤60.00
x+y>200
One solution of the system of inequalities is the ordered pair (100,110).  Which statement best describes the meaning of the solution?

• The baker could make 100 glazed doughnuts and 110 chocolate doughnuts
• The baker could earn $100 from glazed doughnuts and $110 from chocolate doughnuts
• The baker can make a maximum of 100 glazed doughnuts and 110 chocolate doughnuts
• The baker will spend exactly $60 making 100 glazed doughnuts and 110 chocolate doughnuts
