B. is reasonable because 9.2×4.8 = 44.16
First, you would have to do 11x + 3x Since you're combining like terms.
Now your problem is 14x + 40 = -24
Now you would do 40 - -24 which is now 40+24 and equal to 64.
Now you divide 14 by 64 and you get 4.5
Find a common denominator first
3/8 x 3/3 =9/24
1/3x 8/8 =8/24
8/24+9/24=17/24
