Two students were given the expression shown to simplify. use the drop-down menus to complete the statements about whether each student's answer is an equivalent expression. then choose an expression that is equivalent. 9-(3-6x) sergio: 9−(-3x) sergio's expression is(correct or incorrect) because(he should multiply before subtracting, he should subtract 9-1 first, he cannot simplify 3-6x, he correctly simplified inside of the parenthesis first, he did not multiply multiply 3 by -1 correctly, or, or he distributed correctly). leon: 9+3+6x leon's expression is (incorrect or correct) because, (he should multiply before subtracting, he should subtract 9-1 first, he cannot simplify 3-6x, he correctly simplified inside of the parenthesis first, he did not multiply 3 by -1 correctly, or he distributed correctly).

Sergio's expression is incorrect because he can not simplify  3-6x and Leon's expression is incorrect because he did not multiply 3 by -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, given expression, 9 - (3 - 6x)

After simplifying this we get the following steps,

Step 1) 9 - (3 - 6x) = 9 - 3 +6x ( by removing parenthesis ) (1)

Step 2) 9 - (3 - 6x) = 6 + 6x

Step 3) 9 - (3 - 6x) = 6(1 + x)  ( because 6 is common in both term of right side)

Since, when Sergio simplified it he wrote 9−(-3x), which is not matching to the above steps. that, is he is incorrect, because in his explanation he wrote -3x after simplifying 3-6x which can not be solved.

Moreover, the expression of Leon is also not matching to any of the above steps,

Thus he is also incorrect because after removing parenthesis he did not multiply 3 by -1 .

Step 1) 9 - (3 - 6x) = 9 - 3 +6x ( by removing parenthesis ) (1)

Step 2) 9 - (3 - 6x) = 6 + 6x

Step 3) 9 - (3 - 6x) = 6(1 + x)  ( because 6 is common in both term of right side)

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following
