If you copied the "n 3" part, it's very likely that your job was to create a pattern with either the rule n^3 or n*3.
In the case of the former, we can start with the initial number of 1 and increase by 1.
In that way, using the rule n^3 would create this pattern of numbers: 1, 8, 27, 64, and so on. Or stated in another way 1*1*1, 2*2*2, 3*3*3, 4*4*4 ...
In the case of the latter, we can start with the initial number of 1 and increase it by 1.
In this way, using the rule of n*3 would create this pattern of numbers: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and o son. Or stated in another way 1*3, 2*3, 3*3, 4*3, 5*3 ...
Answer:
2x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two steps to take here. First add together the -3 + 2 in the brackets:
2(x - 3 + 2)
= 2(x - 1)
Now use the distributive property and multiply each term in the brackets by two:
2(x - 1)
= 2x - 2
And you now have it in simplest form.
Answer:
x=50
See below for word problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
While shopping, you spend $125 before tax. You buy 3 dresses at the same price each and receive a $25 discount. How much is the price of each dress?
3x-25=125
