Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
An Improper Fraction has a top number larger than (or equal to) the bottom number.
To convert a whole number -12 into an improper fraction we can divide the whole number by one to turn it into a temporary fraction.

Also we could multiply and divide -12 by another number greater than one, for example:

There are several ways we can write -12 in the improper fraction form.
First step is to distribute: -6a-6b+9a+9b
then simplify: 3a+3b
12x-3y=3
y=4x-1
12x-3(4x-1)=3
12x-12x-3=3
24x=6
x=4
y=4(4)-1
y=15
x=4; y=15
We have the next number

The expanded form of the number is

Also, we can verify that Alex was incorrect because if we do the sum of the expanded form that Alex calculated we obtain

Finally, the correct answer is
