The answer is 3x-3. You have to distribute the 3 to both of the variables in the equations. The 1 in the parentheses is a negative and multiplying the 3 will result in a negative 3.
Answer:
214
Step-by-step explanation:
The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,
x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,
4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,
4x + 6 = 854,
4x = 854 - 6 = 848,
x = 848/4 = 212
The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214
5x+30- 2x+9
3x+39 is the expression.
