The value of the expression will decrease as x increases. You can test this out by plugging in random numbers in place of x, like 20-5=15 and 20-8=12. The value of the expression (or the answer) is becoming smaller as the value of x becomes larger.
First, get common denominators At the same time, turn these into mixed numbers 27/8 + x = 44/8 Subtract 27/8 from both sides x = 2 1/8 pounds Let’s x be how many more pounds the baby needs
