A. 35 + 6d = 175
B. 35 + 12d = 175
C. 6(35 + 2d) = 175
D. 2(35 + 6d) = 175

Answer 1

a is the answer i’m pretty positive

Answer 2

`35+6d=175`

Explanation:

Jacob is saving for a new bicycle, which costs $175. He already saved $35.

Let he save 'd' amount in 6 weeks.

So, equation becomes:

`35+6d=175` ($35 is already saved, this is why it is fixed and the value of 6d will change with the amount of 'd' saved.)
