7. Explain what step was taken to go from the first equation to the second equation. step 1: 2(x - 4) = -12
step 2: 2x - 8 = -12
A. Distribute the 2 on the left side of the equation.
B. Subtract both sides by 4.
C. Divide both sides by 2.
D. Add 4 on the left side.

Option A

your just multiplying the 2 to what's in parentheses

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
