Answer:

12x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find what the expression equals, you can collect like terms. This means to do the operations (add or subtract) the numbers that have the same variables.

(8x + 5) + (4x - 3)        Remove brackets to add a binomial (2-term brackets)

= 8x + 5 + 4x - 3        Collect like terms

= 8x + 4x + 5 - 3        I rearranged so you can see which terms are alike

= 12x + 5 - 3        Collected like terms with "x" (8x + 4x = 12x)

= 12x + 2        Collected like terms with no variables (5 - 3 = 2)

Therefore (8x + 5) + (4x - 3) is equal to 12x + 2.

If you want, you can also find another equal expression by factoring. Since "12x" and "2" are both divisible by the factor 2, you can <em>take it out</em> and put the other numbers in a bracket.

12x + 2

= 2(12x/2 + 2/2)

= 2(6x + 1)        This is equal, but in factored form.

Twice the sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1 is 510. What is the smaller number?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The smaller number is 127

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write the given problem in equation form

sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1 = n + n + 1 = 2n + 1

now we find twice of the sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1

2*(2n + 1) = 4n + 2

given that

twice the sum of consecutive numbers n and n + 1 is 510

thus,

4n + 2 = 510

=> 4n = 510 -2 = 508

=> n = 508/4 = 127

Thus, the numbers are n = 127

n+1 = 127 + 1 = 128

the smaller number is 127
