9) Choose all expressions that are equivalent to 3x + 6 (Use Algebra tiles if needed)
a) -2x - 4 + 5x + 10
b) 3(x + 6)
c) x + 4 - 2x + 2
d) 3(x + 2)

3(x+2)

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
