When converted to a household measurement, 9 kilograms is approximately equal to a
Notice that in the expression n - 8,
the eight is the thing being subtracted.
We could read it like this: "Eight subtracted from a number."
So we can immediately see that the last option is not correct. It's the opposite of what we want. The third option is the same as the last, just worded differently: The number 8, decreased by a number n.
The second option is correct: A number n, but eight fewer than that.

Answer:
Blank 1: 1 Blank 2: 8 Blank 3: 72
Step-by-step explanation:
What it is basically saying is that 9*8 is equal to 10*8 - 1*8 [Blank 1]. 10 times any number is a friendly number, it all ends with a 0. The question is saying that it is easier to think of a friendly number and subtracting from that. 10 eights - 9 eights is equal to 1 eight. So we take away 1*8=8 from 10*8=80, or in other words, 80-8 [Blank 2]= 9*8=72 [Blank 3].

When multiply two fractions:
Multiply the numerators of the fractions to get the new numerator.
Multiply the denominators of the fractions to get the new denominator
so

(x-3) cancels out

Solve x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
Answer:
x= - 31/2
