Define the numbers
------------------------------------------------------------
First the first odd integer be x.
1st odd = x
2nd odd = x + 2
3rd odd = x + 4
------------------------------------------------------------
Form the equation and solve for x
------------------------------------------------------------
5(x + 4) - 94 = x + 2
5x + 20 - 94 = x + 2
5x - 74 = x + 2
5x - x = 2 + 74
4x = 76
x = 19
------------------------------------------------------------
Find the 3 consecutive integers
------------------------------------------------------------
1st = x = 19
2nd = x + 2 = 19 + 2 = 21
3rd = x + 4 = 19 + 4 = 23
------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The 3 consecutive odd numbers are 19, 21 and 23
------------------------------------------------------------
-10 and 10 are both integers.
Any whole number, without any fraction or decimal part,
is an integer.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx +b, where the variable m represents the slope of the line and the variable b represents the y-intercept of the line. Since we weren't given the y-intercept, one way to solve this problem is substitute the slope for the variable m and then the x and y values from the ordered pair to solve for b.
y = mx + b
y = 3x + b
-4 = 3(9) + b
Now, we can simplify by computing the multiplication on the right side of the equation.
-4 = 27 + b
Finally, we can find the value for b by subtracting 27 from both sides of the equation to get:
-31 = b
Now, we should substitute this value for b back into our equation with the slope.
y = 3x - 31
Therefore, your answer is y = 3x - 31.
Hope this helps!
