Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

3 - 6x = -9

I see a lot of negative numbers, which can make an equation more difficult to solve. Let's make these numbers positive.

Add 6x to both sides.

3 = -9 + 6x

Add 9 to both sides.

12 = 6x

Now we want to isolate x by dividing both sides by 6.

2 = x

This is your answer.

Let's check it by plugging x = 2 back into the original equation.

3 - 6x = -9

3 - 6(2) = -9

3 - 12 = -9

-9 = -9

Your answer is correct.

Hope this helps!

To find the number of possible combinations, you multiple the possible number of outcomes for each category together. For example, there are 5 choices of pastries, 4 choices of drinks, and 2 newspaper choices, so normally there are 5 x 4 x 2=40 possible combinations. Without a muffin, these numbers would change to 4 x 4 x 2=32. The difference would be 8 possible options, so choice C.
