Answer 1

I believe the answer is C, p = 3a-5

Answer 2

Answer:

p = 3a - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer picked 5 fewer peaches than 3 times the apples.

The table shows how the number of peaches, p, depends on the number of apples, a.

Number of peaches is 'p'  and number of apples is 'a'

A farmer picked 5 fewer peaches than 3 times the apples.

3 times the apples is 3a

5 fewer peaches so we subtract 5

Peaches = 3 times the nujmber of apples  - 5

p = 3a - 5
