Damari Huang · Answer 1

B. (11 - 4) + 3 * (11 - 4) - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 segments

First segment,

They need 4 less than 11 songs

= (11-4)

Second segment

They need 5 less than 3 times the number of songs in the first segment

3 times the number of songs in first segment

=3 * (11-4)

5 less than 3 times the number of songs in first segment

={3 * (11-4) } - 5

Total expression=

(11-4) + {3 * (11-4) } - 5

B. (11 - 4) + 3 * (11 - 4) - 5
