Answer:

(a) p = d +2; p = d - 1

Explanation:

You want to know the pair of equations modeling the relationships ...

  • p is used 2 more than d
  • p is 1 less than d

Meaning of English

The phrase "2 more than d" means that 2 is added to d. The only offered pair of equations that has 2 added to d is ...

  • p = d + 2
  • p = d - 1

__

Additional comment

Likewise, "1 less than variable d" means that 1 is subtracted from d: d -1. This is more about reading comprehension than it is about math.
