Marcus has one book less than three times the number of books that Jessie has. Use the algebra tiles to create a model of the number of books Marcus has if Jessie has x number of books. When you are done, take a screen shot and attach it to the assignment submission.

Let's define the variables:

M =  number of books that Marcus has.

x =  number of books that Jessie has.

We know that:

"Marcus has one book less than three times the number of books that Jessie has."

Then the equation that represents the number of books that Marcus has is:

M = 3*x - 1.

Then if x tiles represent the number of books that Jessie has, the number of tiles for Marcus will be 3 times that, and then subtract one tile.

spinning a 1, 2, or 3. option d.

step-by-step explanation: when spinning a number graph up to 4, and aiming for any number less than 3, that automatically eliminates the number 4. now you have two numbers to spin on that are less than 3, but the number 3 is included in this question because it's no greater of an number than itself. i hope this you : )
