Answer:

24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the answer a variable, alright?

20 = (x - 3)/3 + 3(x + 2)

Get rid of the fractions.

120 = 2(x-3) + 3(x + 2)

120 = 2x - 6 + 3x + 6

120 = 5x

x = 24.

24 is your answer.

Convert 2671(in base 9), to base 3 without first converting to base 10.

EleoNora [17]

Since 9 is 3², each digit in base nine takes two digits in base 3.

2₉ = 02₃

6₉ = 20₃

7₉ = 21₃

1₉ = 01₃

Putting it together

2671₉ = 2202101₃

Identify ALL the terms that are like terms with 3x^2.

shutvik [7]

I think it would be 4x^2 and 3x^3 because they both have the same "x". Because you can't add, for example, 5x + 7z, they aren't alike. That's why you have to choose like terms, for example, 5x+ 5x= 10x.
