(3)(–225)

–225 + 3

3 – 225

–225(3)

(3)(–225)

–225 + 3

3 – 225

–225(3)

(3)(-225) and -225(3).

Step-by-step explanation:

First, since ¨in debt¨ is describing negative value, all of the expressions that have positive 225 is incorrect. Also, since the term ¨triple¨ is describing multiplcation, any expression that does not have multiplication is also incorrect. This process of elimination leads to two answers, which both are correct.

A. 225(3)

B. (3)(–225)

C.–225 + 3

D. 3 – 225

E. –225(3)
