I’m not sure, I would try to help but I seem to have lost my notes.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
for 2.2 you would still have 5^2 in brackets still
same kind of error for 2.1
First number = X
Second number = 8X
Third number = X - 3
The equation would be
X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207
X + (8X) + (X - 3) = 207
X + 8X + X - 3 = 207
10X - 3 = 207
10X = 207 + 3
10X = 210
X = 21
First number = 21
Second number = 8 * 21 = 168
Third number = 21 - 3 = 18
This is not a true statement
