Hi I’m doing a homework paper thing and my brain is fried after doing a bunch of other math problems so I need a little help with these...

1. If x = -5 + 3 - 3 then x =

2. Which of these is the greatest number?
A. 5/2 b. -3 c. |-8| D. 4

3. Which value of a would make a - 5 > - 1 true
A. 2 b. -2 c. 3 d. 6

Thanks! Have an awesome day!

1. x=-5

2.c

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3-3 = 0 and your left with -5

2. The absolute value of -8 is 8

6 is the largest number here

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
