Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the first week, and he sold twice the amount so this could be represented as 1x (the first week) plus 2x (the second week since its twice the amount of the first week) and the third week can be represented as 1x-4 since its the same amount of candles sold minus 4. If you add them all together you get 1x+2x+1x-4. if you add like terms you get 4x-4. Hope this helps :)
