Solution

The correct option is A
$250 - 5 x - (5 x + 50)$

Given, Jackie has 250 laptops in his shop.

If the first customer to the shop buys $5 x$ number of laptops, then the number of laptops now left with Jackie in his shop is ' $250 - 5 x$ '.

If the second customer to the shop buys 50 more laptops than what the first customer has bought, then it means that the second customer has bought $5 x + 50$ laptops

Hence the number of laptops left with Jackie in his shop is ' $250 - 5 x - (5 x + 50)$ '.
