Peter solved an equation as shown below.

Given: minus left parenthesis 3x minus 2 right parenthesis plus 2 left parenthesis x minus 3 right parenthesis equals minus 7. Step 1 shows, minus 3x plus 2 plus 2x minus 6 equals minus 7. Step 2 shows, minus 3x plus 2x plus 2 minus 6 equals minus 7. Step 3 shows, minus x minus 4 equals minus 7. Step 4 shows, minus x minus 4 plus 4 equals -7 plus 4. Step 5 shows, minus x over -1 equals -3 over -1. Answer: x equals 3.

When did Peter apply the distributive property?

A.
from the given to step 1

B.
from step 1 to step 2

C.
from step 3 to step 4

D.
from step 4 to step 5

To determine which of the options is an irrational number, let's evaluate each one:

A. \(0.333\) - This is a repeating decimal that can be expressed as the fraction \(\frac{1}{3}\). It is a rational number.

B. \(\sqrt{8}\) - This can be simplified to \(2\sqrt{2}\). Since \(\sqrt{2}\) is an irrational number, \(\sqrt{8}\) is also irrational.

C. \(\sqrt{49}\) - This simplifies to \(7\), which is a rational number.

D. \(5/22\) - This is a fraction and can be expressed as a decimal, which is approximately \(0.227\), making it a rational number.

Therefore, the only irrational number from the options provided is:

**B. \(\sqrt{8}\)**

To determine which of the given options could be an irrational number \(d\) such that \(6 < d < 7\), we will evaluate each option:

A. \(\sqrt{6.2}\)
Calculating \(\sqrt{6.2} \approx 2.49\). This value is not within the range of \(6 < d < 7\).

B. \(2\pi\)
Calculating \(2\pi \approx 6.28\). This value is within the range of \(6 < d < 7\).

C. \(\sqrt{13}\)
Calculating \(\sqrt{13} \approx 3.61\). This value is not within the range of \(6 < d < 7\).

D. \(6\pi\)
Calculating \(6\pi \approx 18.85\). This value is not within the range of \(6 < d < 7\).

Therefore, the option that satisfies \(6 < d < 7\) is:

**B. \(2\pi\)**

Let's analyze the data provided in the table and each of the statements step by step.

### Time and Distance Data:
- Time (hours): 0, 1, 3
- Distance (miles): 3, 4.25, 6.75

First, let's interpret the points:
- When time = 0, distance = 3 miles.
- When time = 1, distance = 4.25 miles.
- When time = 3, distance = 6.75 miles.

### 1. **Amanda's initial distance from her school is 1.25 miles.**
- **False**. The initial distance (when time = 0) is 3 miles, not 1.25 miles.

### 2. **Amanda's distance increases by 1.25 miles each hour.**
To find out if this is true, let's calculate the change in distance for the given times:
- From 0 to 1 hour: \(4.25 - 3 = 1.25\) miles.
- From 1 to 3 hours: \(6.75 - 4.25 = 2.5\) miles over 2 hours (which is \(2.5/2 = 1.25\) miles per hour).

Since the increase is consistently 1.25 miles per hour:
- **True**.

### 3. **Amanda's distance from school after 4 hours is 9.75 miles.**
To find the distance at 4 hours, we can extrapolate based on the linear relationship. We already determined that the slope (rate of change) is 1.25 miles per hour.

Starting from the known distance at 3 hours (6.75 miles) and adding the increase for the next hour:
- After 4 hours: \(6.75 + 1.25 = 8\) miles.

Thus, she is not at 9.75 miles after 4 hours:
- **False**.

### Summary of Statements:
1. **False**
2. **True**
3. **False**

To determine when Peter applied the distributive property in solving the equation, let's analyze each step:

1. **From the given to step 1**:
\[
- (3x - 2) + 2(x - 3) \rightarrow -3x + 2 + 2x - 6
\]
Here, the distributive property is used twice:
- For \(- (3x - 2)\), which becomes \(-3x + 2\).
- For \(2(x - 3)\), which becomes \(2x - 6\).
**This is where the distributive property is applied.**

2. **From step 1 to step 2**:
\[
-3x + 2 + 2x - 6 \rightarrow -3x + 2x + 2 - 6
\]
This step involves rearranging terms, not applying the distributive property.

3. **From step 3 to step 4**:
\[
-x - 4 \rightarrow -x - 4 + 4 = -7 + 4
\]
This step is focused on isolating \(x\) and does not use the distributive property.

4. **From step 4 to step 5**:
\[
-x = -3
\]
This step simplifies to \(x\) but does not involve the distributive property.

Based on this analysis, Peter applied the distributive property:

**A. from the given to step 1.**
