Answer:
correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Reason given in step 2. is incorrect. It should read; "Distributive Property."
Step-by-step explanation:
The reason given to go from :
2 (3x +4) = 56 to 6x + 8 = 56
is NOT "Multiplication Property of Equality" because one is not multiplying both sides of the equality by a number. The property that is being used is the Distributive Property on the left side of the equation in order to remove the grouping symbols (parenthesis) performing the implied multiplication of the external factor times each term of the binomial in parenthesis.
3 consecutive means
x, x+1, x+2
OR
x, x-1, x-2
the equation based on givens and first equation is:
2(x) + 2(x+1) = 69 - (x+2)
4x + 2 = 67 - x
5x = 65
x = 13
so the largest would be x+2 or 15
