Let x be the smallest odd number.
x+(x+2)+(x+4)=147
3x+6=147
x=47

I think they should keep it around, even if it might not be the most efficient strategy. After all, what if you need to solve a problem using multiple strategies?

Answer:
1=x or x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x+2)-10=4x-6+x
distribute
3x+6-10=4x-6+x
combine like terms
3x-4=5x-6
subtract 3x from each side
-4=2x-6
add 6 to both sides
2=2x
divide by 2
1=x or x=1
