When the minimart opened, there were 178 bags of chips on the shelf. The clerk sold some chips. During the day, the clerk put 72
more bags on the shelf. When the store closed, there were 57 bags
on the shelf. How many bags were sold?

193 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

178 - x + 72 = 57

250 - x = 57

x = 193

c

step-by-step explanation:

there is vertical asymptote at x = 2 and x = 0

vertical asymptote occurs at the points where the denominator is 0. so we can say that

x = 2 occurs when there is a factor (x-2) in the denominator, and

x = 0 occurs when there is a factor "x" in the denominator

thus, the denominator of the equation would have "x * (x-2)", this is option c only. that's the correct answer.
