HELP FAST PLS I'M BEING TIMED!! Which method correctly solves the equation using the multiplication property of equality and the reciprocal of One-third?

One-third (x + 9) = negative 12

options:
One-third (x + 9 = negative 12. One-third x + 3 = negative 4. One-third x = negative 7. x = negative 27.

One-third (x + 9) = negative 12. x + 9 = negative 4. x = negative 13.

One-third (x + 9) = negative 12. x + 3 = negative 12. x = negative 15.

One-third (x + 9) = negative 12. x + 9 = negative 36. x = negative 45.

y > 1/3x

y < = -x + 4

hope this : )

proportions are fractions that equal to each other. so if two fractions are the same, they are proportional.

let's check the answers to see if they are proportional.

question a is not proportional because you can't turn 1.5/3 to 3/9. if you try to multiply 1.5/3 by 2 or 3, you wont get 3/9. it's impossible to make the fractions the same.

question b is not proportional because you can't turn 22/33 to 4/6. 33 can't go into 6.

question c is proportional because when you multiply 2 and 3 by 71, you would get 142/213, and those fractions equal to each other

question d is proportional because when you divide 14 and 7 by 2, you would end up with 7/3.5, and those fractions equal to each other.
