Let x be the amount of apples that Kevin bought.
It says that john buys three more than twice the amount of apples that kevin buys, so 3 + 2x apples.
They bought 21 apples total, so x + 3 + 2x=21
Collecting like terms gives 3x+3=21
Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 3x=18 and then dividing both sides by 3 gives x=6
x is the amount of apples kevin bought, so kevin bought 6 apples

Answer: Choice C) 2 - 6 + 18 - 54 + ...</h3>
Explanation:
The three dots or ellipses indicate the pattern goes on forever to infinity. So the answer is between choices A and C based on this alone. Choice A is a sequence while choice C is a series. A sequence is simply a list of values often in some kind of mathematical pattern. A series is where you add values from a sequence together. This distinction rules out choice A and makes choice C the answer.
Note: choice C is a geometric series with first term 2 and common ratio -3. The infinite series diverges because r = -3 is outside the range -1 < r < 1.

5 + (4·3 -2)
but the associative property does NOT allow you to change the grouping to ...
(5 +4)·3 -2 . . . . . not a valid rewrite
