You're apparently expected to recognize that equation solution processes generally involve eliminating parentheses using the distributive property. When you do this, you get ...

... (-3)(2x) + (-3)(-3)

... = -6x +9

<em>Comment on the question</em>

Depending on the inequaltiy, you may want to divide by -3 first in your solution process. The question seems to assume there is One Right Way. In math, there is not.

Estimate the difference by first rounding each number to the nearest hundred.<br> 8883<br> - 1277

Daniel [21]

Answer: 7600

Step-by-step explanation:

8883 when rounded to the nearest hundred is 8900

1277, on the other hand when rounded to the nearest hundred is 1300

Hence, the difference between the rounded values is stated as 8900 - 1300

(8900 - 1300) = 7600

Thus, 7600 is the answer
