Answer 1

I can’t see the original expression — could you paste it or describe it?

Meanwhile, here are the four choices rewritten in standard form so you can match them to your expression:

- A: (8x − 18)/3 = (8/3)x − 6
- B: (8x − 9)/3 = (8/3)x − 3
- C: (8/3)(x + 18) = (8/3)x + 48
- D: (8/3)(x − 12) = (8/3)x − 32

If you tell me the expression you started with, I’ll pick which choice is equivalent and show the steps.
