Answer:

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

Number 1 = x + 12

Number 2 = x - 12

Number 3 = x

(x + 12) + (x - 12) + x = 15

x + 12 + x - 12 + x = 15

x + x + x +12 -12 = 15

3x = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

Check:

Number 1 = 17

Number 2 = 5 -12 = -7

Number = 5

number 1  + number 2 + number 3 = 15

17 + (-7) + 5 = 15

10 + 5 = 15

15 = 15

Answer is 5

The word "less than" represent what operation?
bixtya [17]

Answer:

  • The term 'less than' is used to indicate the relationship between two values.
  • The term 'less than' symbolically represented as '<'.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The term 'less than' is used to indicate the relationship between two values.

It expresses that one value will be lesser than the other.

The term 'less than' symbolically represented as '<'.

We can implement certain operations like comparing values, heights, and numbers.

For example, there are 3 pencils in one bag A, and 8 pencils in bag B.

When we compare the two, we can easily observe that bag A has fewer pencils than bag B.

Thus,

Pencils in Bag A       <         Pencils in Bag A

           3                     <                    8

Clara found the product of 3 – 6y2 and y2 + 2. Her work is shown below.
Kisachek [45]

Answer: No the students work is not correct. Because you are using distribution. Which means that 3 has to multiply the y2 and 2 not just the y2! And after you distribute it you need to simplify!
