<h3>Answer: Choice D) x-1</h3>

Explanation:

A monomial is one term. The "mono" part means "one". Think of something like "monorail" to help remember that term.

The expressions -2x, 0 and 3xy are all monomials as they are one term when considered separately on their own. Therefore, we can rule out choices A,B,C.

In contrast, x-1 is not a monomial. Instead, it's a binomial consisting of the two terms x and -1. This is why choice D is the final answer.

Answer:

$3.\ \dfrac{3x}{11x}, \dfrac{6}{22}, \dfrac{9}{33},\dfrac{12}{44}$

$4. -18\\5.\ 400$

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solution 3:</u>

Equivalent fractions to are to $\frac{3}{11}$ be found out.

<u>Method: </u> By Multiplying both the denominator and numerator with the same number, we can easily find equivalent fractions.

1. Multiply with 2:

$\dfrac{3 \times 2}{11 \times 2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{22}$

2. Multiply with 3:

$\dfrac{3 \times 3}{11 \times 3}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{9}{33}$

3. Multiply with 4:

$\dfrac{3 \times 4}{11 \times 4}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{12}{44}$

If we try to write in variable form, it can be written as:

$\dfrac{3x}{11x}$

where x is any number.

---------------

<u>Solution 4:</u>

$(2x-10)$ when $x=-4$

$2 \times (-4) -10\\\Rightarrow -8 -10\\\Rightarrow -18$

------------

<u>Solution 5:</u>

$(10a)^2, a=-2\\\Rightarrow \{10 \times (-2)\}^2\\\Rightarrow (-20)^2\\\Rightarrow 400$
