Can you post the rest of the question?
<u>Define x:</u>
Let the first number be x.
1st number = x
2nd number = x + 1
3rd number = x + 2
<u>Construct equation:</u>
x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4(x + 1)
3x + 3 = 4(x + 1)
Answer: 3x + 3 = 4(x + 1)

Answer:
22.
Step-by-step explanation:
"Plug and chug" .75 multiplied by different numbers, up until you get to 16.5 as an answer. 22 is what you multiply it by, so that is correct.
Since posters cost 9 dollars each and picture frames cost 15, it would be multiplication.
The expression would be 9(6)+15(6) or 9x6+15x6.
You have to multiply these numbers. 9 times 6 would be 54. 15 times 6 would be 90.
Now, we need to add these together. 54 plus 90 would be 144.
The total cost for 6 framed posters would be $144.
