A. The total sales of roses will always be $5 more than the total sales of carnations.
B. The total sales of roses will always be greater than the total sales of carnations.
C. When the flower shop sells $40 worth of carnations, then sales of roses will be $35.
D. When the flower shop sells $40 worth of roses, then carnation sales will be $35.

### 8
A retired optometrist, Dr. Bibler, conducts free eye clinics each year in his hometown. He provides a free eye exam and distributes eyeglasses that he collects throughout the year. In preparation for each clinic, Dr. Bibler has a goal of collecting a certain number of eyeglasses each month. The number of eyeglasses he has left to collect each month in order to meet his goal can be estimated with the equation:
\[Y = 50 - 8x\]
where \(Y\) is the number of eyeglasses he has left to collect for the month and \(x\) is the number of days he has actively been collecting eyeglasses that month. What is the meaning of 50 in this equation?

A. Dr. Bibler has a goal of collecting 50 eyeglasses each month
B. Dr. Bibler collects 50 eyeglasses each day
C. Dr. Bibler distributes 50 eyeglasses each day to the needy
D. Dr. Bibler starts out each month with 50 eyeglasses
