( step by step!)




Thank you, ill do 65 points instead!

Answer 1

the first part is 14 weeks add the 31 and the 4 then divide it by the 2

Answer 2

1.

2.25x+4.50 = 31.50

2.25x = 27

x = 27 / 2.25 = 12

Answer is B 12 weeks

2.

-2(p-1) =15

-2p +2 = 15

-2p =13

p = 13 / -2 = -13/2

Answer is D -13/2
