X + (x − 2) + (x − 4) = ? ;  In which
<span>
x + x </span>− 2 + x − 4 ; 

Combine the "like terms" ; 

  x + x + x = 3x ; 

  − 2 − 4  =  −6 ; 

So we have:  "3x  − 6" as the sum. ;
___________________________
The sum of three consecutive odd integers, in which "x" is the greatest integer;  is:  "3x − 6" .
_____________________________________________
Note:  The three consecutive odd integers, from least to greatest, are:

"(x − 4)" , "(x − 2)" , and "x" .

The sum is:  "(3x  − 6)<span>" .
</span>_____________________________________________
Note:  "(3x  − 6)" factors into:  " 3(x −2)" .

Note that:  " (x − 2) " is the second integer.
______________________________________________
So the sum total, which is:  "(3x  −  6)" ;  is 3 (three) times the value of the second integer; that is, "3 (x − 2)" .

PLS HALP ME!!!!!! You have $6.50 to make copies. Each copy costs $0.45. Write and solve an inequality that represents the number
serious [3.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable x = number of copies

6.50 <= 0.45x

Divide both sides by 0.45

6.50 ÷ 0.45 <= 0.45x ÷ 0.45

14.4444.... <= x

No more than 14 copies

6.50 <= 0.45x

6.50 <= 0.45(14.444)
