Answer 1

They tell you the smaller integer, or whole number, by giving you the smaller one as answer choices.
119 + 121 =
125 + 127 =
123 + 125 =
121 + 123 =
From these, which equals 244?

Answer 2

3(x-1) - (x+5) = 2 ; distribute the 3 and the - sign

3x-3 - x - 5 = 2; combine like terms
2x - 8 = 2 ; add 8 to each side
2x=8+2; do some addition
2x=10; divide each side by 2
x=5; answer (A)

121+123 = 244; so D

3. Make an equation: Let x = daughters age

36 = 3x-6; add 6 to both side
42 = 3x; divide by 3;
14=x
