Help help i need help with this

1) 8 2) -33/9

Step-by-step explanation:

1) (1/2)x = -1/2 + 9/2

(1/2)x = 4 x = 8

2) distributing 3/2, 9x/2 - 15/2 = -24

9x/2 = -24 + 15/2

9x/2 = -33/2

9x = -66/2

9x = -33

x = -33/9

the answer would be d

straight away you can eliminate a and c because not all books contain a scientific skill because some may be fiction. c is also wrong because it saids that the only way children can learn is through books which is incorrect.

b is also wrong because reading can be a scientific skill but not always, therefore it is wrong which leaves you with d, the correct answer since it said that it can children learn.

hope this ! : 3
