No because 3(2x+1) = 6x+3
Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Hilary has 48 building blocks in the red bucket which is 6 times as many blocks in the green bucket.
Let the number of building blocks that are in the green bucket be represented by x.
Based on the scenario given in the question, this will be:
6 × x = 48.
6x = 48
x = 48/6.
x = 8
This means that there are 8 green building blocks
Answer:
-2+11x
Step-by-step explanation:
Combine like terms
(-5+3)+(x+10x)
-5+3 = -2
x+10x = 11x
-2+11x
Answer:
27 and 29
Step-by-step explanation:
let A and B the expected numbers
assuming B = A + 2, the problem can be written as follows
¼(A + A + 2) = 14
4*¼(A + A + 2) = 4*14
(A + A + 2) = 56
2A + 2 = 56
A + 1 = 28
A = 27
B = 27 + 2 = 29

Answer: Sometimes true</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
-8+d is positive only when d > 8
Here's why
-8+d > 0
-8+d+8 > 0+8 .... add 8 to both sides
d > 8
So if Jessica said "d is greater than 8", then her claim would always be correct.
However, her claim is sometimes true.
Two counter examples could be when d = 1 and d = 2.
If d = 1, then -8+d = -8+1 = -7 which isn't positive.
If d = 2, then -8+d = -8+2 = -6 which also isn't positive.
Basically if d is anything smaller than 8, then you'll have -8+d be negative.
If d is something larger than 8, say d = 9, then -8+d = -8+9 = 1 which is finally positive.
