C) 9^5
I used the slot method...
First slot can be any digit but 0. Therefore 10-1=0
Second slot can be any digit but whatever was in the first slot, including 0. Therefore 10-1=9
Third slow can be whatever digit except preceding one... 9
Etc...
9*9*9*9*9=9^5

Let T=two cent envelopes and
F=five cent evenelopes
T+F=x+1
T=F+3-->T-f=3
add these equations together...
T+F=x+1
+T-F=3
----------
2T=x+4
T=(x+4)/2
Total cost= 2T+5(x+1-T)
=2((x+4)/2) + 5(x+1-(x+4)/2)
=(2x+8)/2 + 5[(2x+2-x-4)/2)
=(2x+8)/2 + 5(x-2)/2
=(2x+8+5x-10)/2
=(7x-2)/2
Answer is B
