Answer:
The correct answer is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let there be x number of candies in each bag filled by Ken and Mali.
Both Ken and Mali started with equal number of candies and put same number of candies in each bag.
Ken filled nine bags and had three candies left. Therefore total number of candies Ken had = 9x + 3.
Mali filled eight bags and had ten candies left. Therefore total number of candies Mali had = 8x + 10.
As both had equal number of candies in the beginning,
9x + 3 = 8x + 10
⇒ x = 10 - 3 = 7
Thus each bag contained 7 candies.
First, you factor and simplify (respectively) the numerator and denominator. Your equation becomes:

Notice, there is a (x + 7) on both the top and the bottom. Because of this, they cancel each other out. What is left is your answer:
It is simple, each y=3x so, lets just say that you have 8y, that would be equal to 24x. In other words, just multiply the number of y's, by 3
