Step-by-step explanation:
If y is largest number, you want y, and the two next smaller even integers smaller than y - i.e. y, y-2, and y-4
The sum of these is y + (y-2) + (y-4).
This simplifies to 3y - 6 or 3(y - 2)
Since we don’t know what y is, this is as far as we can solve the problem.
To determine the number of cubes he needs to fill the box (this is assuming the cubes are 1 in cubes, he would need to calculate the volume of the box. To find the volume he would multiply the length by the width by the height. This would be 5 in x 6 in x 7 in. The volume is 210 cubic inches, so he could fill it with 210 one inch cubes.
83x + P = 83x + Q <em>subtract 83x from both sides</em>
P = Q
The equation has no solution for P different Q (P ≠ Q).
If you want just 1430/75 in fraction form then:
after you divide it by 5.
If you want the divided number in fraction form then:
both give the same answer so it doesn't matter.
