Bozley · Answer 1

The distance between house and park is calculated in steps involved below:

house to partK = (2 - 2x) + (5x + 4)

= 3x + 6

Then, from park to school,

= 2x - 2 + (3x - 10)

= 5x - 12

Combining both simplified equation will give an answer 8x - 6. Thus, the answer to this item is letter C.
