X+x+1+x+2=51
3x+3=51
Use inverse operations to solve
subtract 3 from both sides
3x=48
Divide by 3 on both sides
x=16
16, 17, 18
-5 is the same as -5/1

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: +9
Discussion:
The opposite of a number is that number multiplied by -1. In our case the opposite number is (-1) * (- (abs(9))) = -1 * (-9) = +9
Thank you,

Answer:
(20.60-5)/0.10=156 Papers
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of two numbers is zero.
x + y = 0
y = -x
<span>Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10.
Let x represent the larger number and y represent the smaller number.
Twice the smaller number: 2y
3 times the larger number: 3x
</span>Twice the smaller number subtracted from 3 times the larger number is 10.
3x - 2y = 10
-2y = -3x + 10
y = 3/2 x - 5
The equations are:
y = -x
y = 3/2 x - 5
The answer is the first choice.
