Answer: 1

==========================

Explanation:

To average a bunch of numbers, we add them up and divide by how many numbers there are. In this case, we'll divide by 3 since there are 3 numbers.

Add up the values: m+n+(-1) = m+n-1

Divide by 3: (m+n-1)/3

Set this equal to 0 since we're told the average is 0: (m+n-1)/3 = 0

Now let's isolate m+n. It might help to replace "m+n" with another variable, say P to get (P-1)/3 = 0.

Solve for P

(P-1)/3 = 0

P-1 = 3*0 .... multiply both sides by 3

P-1 = 0

P = 1 ... add 1 to both sides

m+n = 1 .... replace P with m+n

So that's why the answer is 1

What dose 2+7x=5x+14 equal
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

2+7x=5x+14

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2+7x-2=5x+14-2

7x=5x+12

Subtract 5x from both sides:

7x-5x=5x+12-5x

2x=12

Divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{12}{2}

x=6
