Let us say the number was x.

Mike added to it two other numbers.

First number added is 12 less than the original number.

So first number is x-12.

Second number added is 12 more than the original number.

So second number is x+12.

Now we are given that the result of adding all three numbers is 15.

Converting the information given into equation, we have:

original number + first number + second number =15

x+(x-12)+(x+12)=15

Adding like terms,

3x=15

dividing both sides by 3,

x=5

Answer: So the original number that Mike thought was 5.

a= 6-2b-3c

then put that equation inside the first one and then the second one

you get -6*(6-2b-3c)+2b-3c=23

14b-15c=59

14b-18c=18/*(-1)

Allushta [10]

Answer:No Matt's calculation is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to multiply by the number of the area.If it is 4 inches we multiply by 4

15 x 4 =60

A=4 inches squared

A=LxW (length x width )

so you can say that:

Matt is incorrect because He skipped  the step of multiplying 2 by 2 in the formula which is where we get 4 from.
