Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

D is the only option where Tim has 23 or more dollars earned.

To show this I will solve each equation...

A) (-23)+9+9 = (-23)+18= -5

-5 < 0 so A doesn't work

B) (-23)+7+7+7 = (-23)+21= -2

-2 < 0 so B doesn't work

C) (-23)+12+9 = (-23)+21= -2

-2 < 0 so B doesn't work

D) (-23)+12+12 = (-23)+24= 1

1 > 0 so D does work!

* I am using 0 to compare each number with the result because Tim should have 0 or more dollars after paying his mom.

Hope this Helps!
