Answer 2

Answer: x

Explanation:

When you multiply a fraction with a whole number, remember that whole numbers can also be rewritten as fractions by placing a one in the denominator!

So -3 becomes
`(-3)/(1)` and you are now able to multiply the two fractions.

• Multiplying the numerators together (-3 × -x) = 3x
• Multiplying the denominators together (1 × 3)= 3

You are left with
`(3x)/(3)`, which simplifies to x because the 3's cancel each other out!
