Answer:

A. (5x - 2) - (2x +1)

B.  x -1

C. 68

Step-by-step explanation:

Heather = 5 times Donna -2   H = 5D - 2

Gina = 2 times  Donna + 1    G = 2D + 1

Plug in D for X and you get

H = 5x -2

G = 2x + 1

If Heather's expression is 5x -2 and Gina's expression is 2x + 1 then to show how many more Heather has than Gina. You have to subtract Gina from Heather.

(5x - 2) - (2x +1)

Now to simplify it, you just combine all the like terms.

5x - 2 - 2x -1 = 3x - 3   and then you can simply this further by dividing all terms by 3.    x - 1

To solve how many Heather has if Donna has 14. You substitute 14 for x in Heather's equation.    5 (14) -2  =  70 - 2 = 68
