Answer 1

B: -3

Explanation:

Answer 2

`-3x+3`

Explanation:

Imagine the equation like this:

`4 - 7 + 6`

Lets solve it.

`4 - 7 = -3 -3`

Next to -3 add x cause we left out the 3x.

Since -3 + 6 = 3, the equation is -3x + 3

Hope this helps!

NOTE: This stat doesn't match with every equation, the only 2 combine part, that means, this stat matches 1 x.
