(b) Tom removed 8 fish from his pond each day for 48 days. What was the total change in the number of fish in the pond?

Kapil needed to buy a long wooden beam. he went to two sawmills that each charge an initial fee plus an additional fee for each meter of wood. the following equation gives the price (in dollars) of a wooden beam from the first sawmill as a function of its length (in meters). p = 5+20xp=5+20x

16 more than the product of 5 and p

What is the missing step in this proof ?
