Hi!

Let's put in the value of x.

9 * 4 - 2 * 6 ___ 2(9 - 6)

Solve

36 - 12 ___ 2(3)

24 ___ 6

Now let's try all of the options and see which statement is true.

24 = 6 false

24 > 6 true

24 < 6 false

24 ≤ 6 false

The answer is 24 > 6

Hope this helps! :)

Hello!

Let's plug our x-value of 6 into each expression, evaluate our expression, and compare them using an inequality, which will be our answer.

9(4)-2(6)

36-12

24

2(9-6)

2(3)

6

As you can see, this gives us 24_6. As you can see, 24 is greater, so we will use the > inequality, giving us 24>6.

Therefore, our answer is B) >.

I hope this helps!
