C is correct.
Reasoning: If the top number (numerator) is smaller that the bottom number (denominator), it means it’s smaller than 1. If, on the other hand, the numerator is bigger than the denominator, it means it’s more than 1. If youre ever unsure, devide the numerator by the denominator. This will turn the number into a decimal, and be easier to see. 8/9 = 0.88 repeated, and 3/7 = 0.4285. Therefore 8/9 is larger than 3/7. This can also be written as 8/9 > 3/7.
Good luck!
3(x + 8) = 2x - 9
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
3x + 24 = 2x - 9
<em><u>Subtract 24 from both sides.</u></em>
3x = 2x - 33
<em><u>Subtract 2x from both sides.</u></em>
x = -33 (this is your answer)
We can plug this value into the original equation to verify if it's correct.
3(x + 8) = 2x - 9
3(-33 + 8) = 2 * -33 - 9
-75 = -75 √ this is correct
6=-3(x+2)
——Distribute -3(x+2)
6=-3x-6
—-Flip the equation
-3x-6=6
—-add 6 on both sides..the 6’s will cancel each other and 6+6=12
-3x=12
—-divide -3 on both sides..the 3’s will cancel each other and 12 divided by -3 = -4
Answer: x = -4
