You can treat x and 2x+1 just as though they are real numbers.
So f(2x+1) = 3(2x+1) - 5 = 6x + 3 - 5 = 6x - 2
In the above, I made use of something called the distributive law which says that if a,b and c are real numbers, then a(b+c) = ab + ac.
X=36.... because 17-36=19
Answer:
1938
Step-by-step explanation:
For this, you will need to use order of operations. You would need to multiply 56 and 34 to get 1904 first, because multiplication comes before addition.
Remember to use PEMDAS.
For every 3 packages, she uses 1/2 a roll of wrapping paper
if she uses 2 1/2 rolls.....
(2 1/2) / (1/2) ....* 3
(5/2) / (1/2).....* 3
(5/2 * 2) * 3
5 * 3 =
15 packages <===
