Margaret opened a new case of lightbulbs. 

* The case contained 3 boxes of lightbulbs with 8 lightbulbs in each box. 

* Margaret threw 2 of these lightbulbs in the trash because they were damaged. 

* Then she took 7 of the lightbulbs out of the case. 

Which expression can be used to show that there are 15 lightbulbs still int he case?

a. 3 x 8 -2 +7

b. 3(8) - 2(7)

c. 3 x 8 - (2+7)

d. 3 + 8 - 2 + 7

Answer c. 3 x 8 - (2 + 7)

Here's why:

  • Margaret started with 3 boxes of 8 lightbulbs: 3×8=243 \times 8 = 243×8=24.
  • She threw 2 lightbulbs in the trash, reducing the total: 24−2=2224 - 2 = 2224−2=22.
  • Then she took 7 more lightbulbs out of the case: 22−7=1522 - 7 = 1522−7=15.

So, the expression 3×8−(2+7)3 \times 8 - (2 + 7)3×8−(2+7) correctly represents the situation.
