You need to work backwards
if it is no more than 9 units away from 8
thus x must be 8-9<x<8+9 solving -1<x<17
so the answer is 4.
C. 2x + 3
You have many ways to solve this!
You could...
A) multiply all the answer choices by 3x-2 and see what matches
B) Factor the trinomial
C) Divide the trinomial by the binomial using long division
