Solution
Given, = 2x + 3, = `3/2x + 7` and = x – 3
2 + – = `2 xx (2 xx 6 + 3) + (3/2 xx 3 + 7) - (1 - 3)`
= `2 xx (12 + 3) + (9/2 + 7) - (-2)`
= `2 xx 15 + (23/2) + 2`
= `30 + 2 + 23/2`
= `32 + 23/2`
= `(32 xx 2 + 23)/2`
= `(64 + 23)/2`
= `87/2`

To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways:
- We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or
- We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54. Thus, (14 + 27) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13)
