define the 3 numbers

smallest number = x

middle number = x + 2

largest number = x + 4

write the equation

sum of the smallest number and twice the middle number

\begin{gathered} x+2(x+2) \\ x+2x+4 \\ 3x+4 \end{gathered}

20 more than the largest number

\begin{gathered} x+4+20 \\ x+24 \end{gathered}

equal the expressions

\begin{gathered} 3x+4=x+24 \\ 3x-x=24-4 \\ 2x=20 \\ x=\frac{20}{2} \\ x=10 \end{gathered}

the numbers should be 10, 12 and 14

\begin{gathered} 10+2\cdot(12)=14+20 \\ 10+24=34 \\ 34=34 \end{gathered}

Based on research by barsh and colleagues (2000), _____ genes appear to be related to body weight regulation.
Rainbow [258]
The answer is more than 40 genes. According to their research, these genes are transcripted into the DNA during the translation.One of these genes is called CYP19. Having more than one strand of this gene can possibly be the reason why people are slightly larger than the others.

Need help solving for X
artcher [175]
X+10=110-4x

-x from both sides

10=110-5x

subtract 110 from both sides

-100=-5x

divide both sides by -5

x= 20
