For this case, what you should keep in mind are the following considerations:
1) Rewrite the expressions correctly using the properties of the exponents: Addition, multiplication, division, subtraction and negative exponents.
2) Simplify the expression as much as possible.
Answer:

I’m not sure what happened while you were writing this, but if I’m reading it right, “My” has 18 books. If “My” has 3 times as many as 6, that also means 3 times 6, which is 18.
(1) You can see that the 6 is being added to both sides.
You are trying to make both sides equal by adding 6, so it would be the Addition Property of Equality.
(2) 4 is being divided into both sides.
It would be the Division Property of Inequality. (you are dividing by 4 to make both sides equal)
"B" is the answer.
I hope this helps!

The answer is 117/8 and that is simplified decimal form is. 14.625
First the left fraction 3 x 8=24+3=27 so it is 27/8
Then the right 4 x 3=12+1=13
27 x 13=351
8 x 3=24
351/24
