Answer:

(3)(-225) and -225(3).

Explanation:

First, since ¨in debt¨ is describing negative value, all of the expressions that have positive 225 is incorrect. Also, since the term ¨triple¨ is describing multiplcation, any expression that does not have multiplication is also incorrect. This process of elimination leads to two answers, which both are correct.
