Answer:
whole number and a fraction
Answer:
15, 17, 19
Step-by-step explanation:
x + x+2 + x+4 = 15 + (x+2 + x+4)
3x + 6 = 15 + 2x + 21
x = 15
x+2 = 17
x+4 = 19
You need to isolate the variable meaning .make x the only thing on one side, you do this by doing the opposite of what is being done to it. 1/2 is being added to it so subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equel sign. Next it is being multiplied by 2/3 so divide by 2/3 on both sides and you have your answer, by doing the opposite of what is being done to x you cancel everything out on that side leaving only x.
If Aidan can fill 1 potted plant from a full bucket but still have enough left for 3 more, this means Aidan can water 4 plants per full bucket. And if you multiply that 4 by 3 full buckets, it gives you 12, which is the amount of plants 3 full buckets can water.
