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)" .

Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
33/7 is an improper fraction.
To make it a mixed fraction, do this:-
How many times does 7 go into 33?
About 4 times.
4*7 = 28
4 is our whole number.
Now, subtract to get the numerator.
33-28 = 5
4 5/7
Final answer: 4 5/7
Answer:
10 ( b+10)
Step-by-step explanation:
10 b + 100
Factor out a 10
10 * b + 10 * 10
10 ( b+ 10)
hope it helps !!!!
Distribute : 1/2x + 3 = 18
subtract the 3 from both sides: 1/2x= 15
divide: x= 30
