<span>Once upon a time there was a surprise for a boy named Justin ,his 4 friends ordered a pie because it was a surprise soccer party. Only 1 out of the 4 boys got to eat the pie since they all wanted to play soccer. Hope this helped :)</span>
The three consecutive integers are 26, 27, 28
Simon is 13 years old
Let x be Simon's age
Thus 4 years ago his age was (x - 4) and 2 years from now his age is (x + 2)
Hence 5(x - 4) = 3(x + 2)
distributing both sides gives
5x-20 = 3x + 6
subtract 3x from both sides of the equation
5x - 3x - 20 = 6
2x - 20 = 6
add 20 to both sides
2x = 6 + 20 = 26
divide both sides by 2
x =
= 13

Answer: B) 3+y+3
This can be simplified to y+6, but the current un-simplified expression has 3 terms.
======================================
Explanation:
Terms are separated by a plus sign. If you had something like 10x-5y, then you would write that as 10x+(-5y) showing that 10x and -5y are the two terms.
Choices A and C, xy and 6y respectively, have one term each. They are considered monomials. Mono = one, nomial = name.
Choice D is the product of the constant 3 and the binomial y+3. Binomials have two terms.
Only choice B has three terms, though we can simplify it down to two terms. I have a feeling your teacher doesn't want you to simplify it.
The answer is the first one A. sss Postulate
