Answer:

B and D

Explanation:

Considering the multiple choices and let us assume that x = 2,

Option A would be equal to
(3)/(4)x,

so if x = 2, then;


(3)/(4)x = 1.5 (which is less than x)

Option B would give
(5)/(4) x,

so if x = 2, then;


(5)/(4) x = 2.5 ( which is greater than x)

From option C,


(7)/(8) x = 1.75 (which is less than x)

From option D,


(9)/(8) x = 2.25 ( which is greater than x)

So, options B and D are expressions whose values are greater than x.
