A. This is the original equation: 2x + 3 - 1 = x + 5

b. 2x + 2 = x + 5 ← combined like terms on left side
2x + 2 - 2 = x + 5 - 2 ← used inverse operation to collect constants on right side
2x = x + 3 ←simplified each side
2x - x = x - x + 3 ←used inverse operation to collect variable terms on left side
x = 3 ← simplified each side
answer x = 3

c. 2(3) + 3 - 1 = 3 + 5
6 + 3 - 1 = 8
9 - 1 = 8
8 = 8

<h3>Answer:</h3>

$\huge{\boxed{72}}$

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

First, find the total number of apples. $6*1200=7200$

Now, multiply this by the probability of picking a rotten apple, which is $\frac{1}{100}$ . This is also the same as dividing by $100$ , or moving the decimal point two places to the left. $7200*\frac{1}{100}=72$
