A. d-17=22;d=5
b. d+17=22;d=5
C. d-17 = 22; d =39
D. d+17=22;d = 39

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. d-17 = 22; d =39

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

d ----> the original number of drawings

we know that

The original number of drawings minus the number of drawings sold (17) must be equal to the remaining drawings (22)

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$d-17=22$

solve for d

adds 17 both sides

$d=22+17\\d=39$
