24 divided by 6 makes 4 stacks of beach towels
We can solve x through simple algebra.
x + 5 = 2
x = 2 - 5
x = -3
x - 10 = 22
x = 22 + 10
x = 12
x - 27 = 8 + 10
x - 27 = 18
x = 18 + 27
x = 45
-11 + x + (-48) = 25
-11 + (-48) + x = 25
-59 + x = 25
x = 25 + 59
x = 84
x - (-16) = 12 + 13
x + 16 = 25
x = 25 - 16
x = 9
Tip: As you can see, the number sign changes as they shift from left to right (ex. -59 to +59).
<span>To find the next week in which all three coincide, look for the lowest common multiple of the numbers 2,3, and 6. Two has multiples of (2,4,6,8,10,12), three has (3,6,9,12,15,18), and 6 has (6,12,18,24). The lowest number that is common to all three values is 6, so Clea will attend all three in the same week 6 weeks from now.</span>
You set both expressions equal to each other, then solve for x. Your answer will be x=12
