Trinity's science instructor entered the 7th students in a STEM competition. There was an enrollment fee of $50 and an additional fee of $12 for each packet of 10 tests. The total cost was $170. How many tests were purchased? Which of the following equations best models the situation? Question 1 options: A12x + 50 = 170
B 50x + 12 = 170
C 12x - 50 = 170
D 50x - 12 = 170

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.

How many is in each case if there is 12 in each case it would be 40
