Two gift shops sell postcards. each gift shop charges a fixed amount per postcard. the prices, in cents, for different numbers of postcards at the first gift shop are shown in the table below.

1st gift shop:

120/4 = 30 cents each

180/6 = 30 cents each

390/13 = 30 cents each

2nd gift shop:

204/7 = 29.14 cents each

192/8 = 24 cents each

270 /9 = 30 cents each

360/10 = 36 cents each

 so if both gift shops have a fixed price then the 9 post cards would be the answer since it matches 30 each like the 1st gift store

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
