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 plain pizza takes 10 minuets to bake.  At least 2 minutes of baking time is required for each ounce of toppings added to the pizza.  The total baking time for specialty pizzas is at least 18 minutes and at most 26 minutes.  Which graph shows the possible number of ounces of all the toppings on specialty pizzas?

• A

• B

• C

• D

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.
