Answer 3

-3(x+3) = -3(x+1) - 5 -> -3(x+3-x-1) = -5 -> -3(2) = -5, which is never true, so no solutions.

Answer 4

"All real numbers means, positive or negatives, large or small, whole numbers or decimal numbers are all Real Numbers."

Apply distributive property to -3(x+3) and -3(x + 1)

Answer 5

If I'm doing it right....

-3(6+3)=-27
-3(6+1)=-21

Answer 6

I'm trying to find the same outcome right? @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 7

No, don't use the options... solve it without them.

-3(x + 3) = -3x - 9

-3(x + 1) = ?

Answer 8

So basically -3+1?
