Typical day at the office.
852?
Correct.
I felt like she took it easier on us than the egg one ![]()
x+(x+3)+(x+6)= 15
3X= 15-3-6
3X=6
X=2
I just figured the first number had to at least be 7 and went up from there.
Thatâs complicated! I just thought the hundreds and the units have 6 between them, there werenât many choices.
so x + (x+3) + (x+3+3) = 15
3x + 9 = 15
x+3 = 5
x = 2
852
Oh⌠good idea to blur it so others that might like to work it out donât see an answer 
Dang. I was overcomplicating and focused on the âtimesâ thinking it was something multiplied by 3.
Sounds like you decided to âbrute forceâ a solution, rather than use Algebra.
Loving the math youâre throwing out here occasionally. So used to just seeing âDisney mathâ here, itâs good to get a refresher on real math once in awhile. 
Algebra schmalgebra. I always hated having to show my work bc my brain just works in mysterious ways. If I have to explain it I get all out of whack.
That was easier.
Letters arenât meant to be numbers.
Like roman numerals. Wtf is that?
They arenât. Letters are VARIABLES. ![]()

So that explains why nobody knows what there/their/theyâre to use anymore?
whewâŚ
math skills atrophy over time ![]()
