Carlos started a business with 8 customers. Each month, his business increased by 4 customers. He would like 52 customers a month. How many months will I take him to reach his goal?

11 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of months that it will take him to reach his goal be represented by x.

Based on the information given in the question, this can be formed into an equation as:

8 + 4x = 52

4x = 52 - 8

4x = 44

x = 44/4

x = 11

It will take 11 months to reach the goal

b

step-by-step explanation:

a difference is the result of subtraction. while each of these expressions has subtraction in it, a difference will be the result when subtraction is the last operation applied in the order of operations for the expression. this means subtraction must be outside of the parenthesis. only b has this.
