X + (x − 2) + (x − 4) = ? ; In which
<span>
x + x </span>− 2 + x − 4 ;
Combine the "like terms" ;
x + x + x = 3x ;
− 2 − 4 = −6 ;
So we have: "3x − 6" as the sum. ;
___________________________
The sum of three consecutive odd integers, in which "x" is the greatest integer; is: "3x − 6" .
_____________________________________________
Note: The three consecutive odd integers, from least to greatest, are:
"(x − 4)" , "(x − 2)" , and "x" .
The sum is: "(3x − 6)<span>" .
</span>_____________________________________________
Note: "(3x − 6)" factors into: " 3(x −2)" .
Note that: " (x − 2) " is the second integer.
______________________________________________
So the sum total, which is: "(3x − 6)" ; is 3 (three) times the value of the second integer; that is, "3 (x − 2)" .

Answer:
1, 2, 5 and 6 are the answers.
Step-by-step explanation:
2 is correct because the arrow shows that the number line continues till infinity. 5 is correct because any fraction is possible as no restriction of integer value is placed. Any number less than 7 is not included. There are some confusions with 1 as it's not a solid color, So, I assume -7 is not included.
Joe would be paying $700 in 5 years time.
Explanation:
($2,000)(0.07/year)(5 years)
= ($2,000)(0.07)(5)
= $700
Factoring the left side of the equation
x(2x-5) = 150
x = 10 so the dimension are 10 and (2(10) - 5 = 15
length = 15 feet , width = 10 feet.
