Answer 3

All you have to do is switch out x for the numbers. Lets try the first one together.

Answer 4

3 x 8 = -3 x 8 +24

Do you know how to start?

Answer 5

subtrat 3x from 3

Answer 6

You have to use PEMDAS (Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, subtraction) and you have to multiply first, in this case.

Answer 7

3 x 8 is 24
-3 x 8 = -24

24 = -24 +24

Answer 8

Now you have to add.

-24 +24 = 0

24=0 is what you get, but 24 is not 0, so A is not it.

Answer 9

Do you think you can do it or do you want me to stay?

Answer 15

no it waz a typo i meant 2 put D a$$hole

Answer 16

Lets test it out

3 x 3 = -3 x 3 + 24
You multiply (using PEMDAS)
9 = -81 + 24
You add now.
9 = -57.

So B is wrong.

Answer 17

Answer 20

Lets try D out, if you are so insistant.
3x = -3x + 24
3 x 4 = -3 x 4 + 24
12 = -12 + 24
12 = 12

God job, D is correct.
