define the 3 numbers
smallest number = x
middle number = x + 2
largest number = x + 4
write the equation
sum of the smallest number and twice the middle number

20 more than the largest number

equal the expressions

the numbers should be 10, 12 and 14
P can be a range of numbers from 3 to 5.
Answer:
3 x 15
Step-by-step explanation:
aren't you trying to figure out what the expression is simplified?
Answer:
8 X 10^(9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Originally we have 10 digit phone numbers excluding the area code.
For each face value we have these in store: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (total 10)
But if we exclude 1 and 0 for the first digit, we are left with 8 digits.
8P1 X .......
In a phone number, digits can repeat so we can choose out of these 10 numbers freely after this.
8P1 X 10P1 X 10P1 X...
Adding the area code while assuming 10P1 is just 10...we get:
1 X 1 X 1 X 8 X 10^(9)
= 8000000000
Very interesting question, thanks for the opportunity!
[ 2x + y = -9 ] x -3
[- 3x +11= y ] x 2
-6x -3y = 27
-6x + 22 = 2y
-6x +27 = 3y
-6x +22 = 2y
5 = y
-6x -3x5 = 27
-6x -15 = 27
-6x = 42
-x = 42/6
-x = 7
x = -7
answer
x = -7
y = 5
