<span>Hello :)
6(x+3)=(x+3)+(x+3)+(x+3)+(x+3)+(x+3)+(x+3)
Six times some number plus 3 is 42.</span>
The answer is a because when u divide that number by 6 u get a whole number
Answer: -4
Reasoning: so first you need to subtract the 7 from the 9 to get -2. Then you square it to get 4 because a negative 2 times -2 is 4. Then you multiply the 4 by the 2 to get 8. You can simplify the -10/5 to -1/2 and multiply that by the 8 to get -8/2 which simplified out to -4.
I hope that helps.
