I tried to do the best I could but I made a 49. The teacher said I could make it up by correcting the questions I got incorrect. For the problem I'm about to ask you about, I tried to solve all the answers three times for each choice and I still couldn't receive the correct answer. I finally put down \"B\" because it was the solution I got the farthest on.\r<BR>\n" );
