Three consecutive odd integers would be x, x+2, and x+4 assuming x is an odd integer. The smallest of these is x. Two times x is 2x. The greatest integer is x+4. Three times this is 3 (x+4), and if you distribute you get 3x+12. If 2x exceeds this by 15, you would make it 3x+12-15. If you add the like terms, 12+(-15) is -3. So, you have 2x=3x-3. Subtract 3x from both sides. 2x-3x is -1x, or -x. Now we have -x=-3. Divide by -, or -1 on both sides. Now we have x=3. You can substitute x for 3 for any of the consecutive odd integers to find their value.

Answer:
The vector joining the ship to the rock is t= 7 i + 5 j
The direction is 0.9505 radians east of north.
Step-by-step explanation:
The position vector of the ship:
r= 1 i + 0 j
The position vector of the ship:
s= 6 i + 5 j
The vector joining the ship to the rock is:
t = r + s
t = (1 i + 0 j) + (6 i + 5 j)
t = 7 i + 5 j
The bearing of the rock to the ship is:
Θ= 
= 0.9505 radians
Answer:
≈ 58
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimation usually means you want an answer good to one or maybe two significant figures. That usually means you want to round the numbers involved to one or two significant figures.
Doing that here transforms the problem to 180/3 = 60, an answer with one significant figure.
You can improve the estimate a bit by recognizing that it is a little high (the numerator is higher than 175.32, but the denominator is the same). Since the numerator is high by about 5, the estimate is high by about 5/3 or a little less than 2. A closer estimate will be 60 - 2 = 58.
_____
The degree to which you refine the estimate will depend on the error requirements you have. Certainly an estimate of 60 is within 10% of the true value, so is "close enough" for many purposes.
