Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

C6H5-CH3 < C6H5-OH < C6H5-COOH (strongest acidity)

Benzoic acid is the most acidic, it's conjugate base is stabilized by resonance.  Phenol is next, and last toulene.
