Answer explanation

Choice A is correct. Adding 7 to each side of the given equation yields c=25p+k+7.

Choice B is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to c+7=25p+k, not c-7=25p+k.

Choice C is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to c7=25p+k, not c-7=25p+k.

Choice D is incorrect. This equation is equivalent to 7c=25p+k, not c-7=25p+k.
