1. Original equation
2.Distributive property
3. Add 6x to each side
4. Subtract 2 from each side
5. Divide each side by 11
42 - 2x is the answer because x is the variable standing in for the number that will be multiplied by 2 (2x means 2 times something) and decreased by just means minus. if you haven't gotten to doing 2x then do 42 - 2*x
Answer: 9
Step-by-step explanation: Basically what f(-2) means is -2 = x. So you put in -2 wherever x appears. This would turn the equation to -3(-2) + 3 which goes to 6+3.

Answer: 23, 25, 27
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the 3 consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2 and x+4.
So
2x+(x+2)+3(x+4)=152
2x + x + 2 + 3x + 12 = 152
6x+14=152
6x = 152 - 14
x=138/6
x=23
So, the numbers are 23, 25 and 27.
