(3x - 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184.

33

Step-by-step explanation:

rearrange and combine like terms

(3x - 9) + x + (x + 28) = 184

3x - 9 + x + x + 28 = 184

3x + x + x + 28 - 9 = 184

3x + x + x = 184 + 9 - 28

5x = 165

x = 33

except a rational number. : )

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
