Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
2 consecutive integers represented as variables:
x, x + 1
Greater one: x + 1
Lesser one: x
Write as an equation
2(Greater) + 13 = 3(Lesser)
Substitute in known values
2(x + 1) + 13 = 3(x)
Multiply
2x + 2 + 13 = 3x
Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
2 + 13 = x
Add 2 + 13 to simplify
x = 15
Lesser = x = 15
Greater = x + 1 = 15 + 1 = 16
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
- Both expressions should be evaluated with two different values. If for each substituted value, the final values of the expressions are the same, then the two expressions must be equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given expressions</u>
- 4x - x + 5 = 3x + 5
- 8 - 3x - 3 = -3x + 5
Compared, we see the expressions are different as 3x and -3x have different coefficient
<u>Answer options</u>
Both expressions should be evaluated with one value. If the final values of the expressions are both positive, then the two expressions must be equivalent.
- Incorrect. Positive outcome doesn't mean equivalent

Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
X= -x over 2 (negative x as a fraction and 2 is the denominator) minus y+ (seven as the numerator over 2 as the denominator).
Solve for y by simplify both sides with inverse operations, then isolate the variable and you get, y = 3x - 1.
