I dont know if you know this, but there are 3 different 3's. So how can we figure out the question if we don't know which one is underlined?
2 because once you double it, it becomes 4. Once you add 4, you get 8. When you subtract your number, which is 2, you get 6. Then when you subtract 3, you get 3. 3 is your number (2) plus 1
X apples and 8 oranges = x+8
The answer is x+8.
Hope this helped☺☺
