The answer isnt 2
then wat is it genius?
read my name
for one answered was right and here is the proof

Option (A). 2 is the correct option that will claim the student statement "The value of the expression 3x+3 is always greater than the value of the expression 2x+6." as false.

Expression:

Expression means the sentence with a minimum of two numbers or variables and at least one math operation. This math operation can be addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

Given,

A student evaluates the expressions 3x+3 and 2x+6 at several different values of .

The student claims, "The value of the expression 3x+3 is always greater than the value of the expression 2x+6."

Here we need to find value of x can be used to show that the student's claim is false.

For that, we have to verify each value in order to find the correct one,

Then,

Let option (A) x = 2

=> 3(2) + 3 = 2(2) + 6

=> 6 + 3 = 4 + 6

=> 9 < 10

Now we have to apply the other option (B),

Let x = 4, then

=> 3(4) + 3 = 2(4) + 6

=> 12 + 3 = 8 + 6

=> 15 > 14

Now we have to apply the other option (C),

Let x = 6, then

=> 3(6) + 3 = 2(6) + 6

=> 18 + 3 = 12 + 6

=> 21 > 18

Now we have to apply the other option (D),

Let x = 6, then

=> 3(8) + 3 = 2(8) + 6

=> 24 + 3 = 16 + 6

=> 27 > 22

So, the correct option is (A) x = 2.
