7 0

I: x+y+z=72
II: y=x+1
III: z=x+2

-> substitute y and z in I with the definitions II and III:
x+(x+1)+(x+2)=72
3x+3=72
3x=69
x=23

-> insert x into II and III
y=x+1=23+1=24
z=x+2=23+2=25

-> x+y+z=23+24+25=72

The mass of Earth is about 6 X 1024

storchak [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To do "how many times greater" problems, you divide. Think how you would answer this: How many times greater is 48 than 6? Dividing the larger 48 by the smaller 6 gives 8. 48 is 8 times greater than 6.

Do the same thing for these two masses.

6 x 10^24 divided by 7.4 x 10^22 is about 81.

All direct proportional graphs go through the origin (0,0). So this is where one point could go. The second point is found by going up 5 units and then to the right 3 units to get to (3,5)

<h3>Draw a straight line through (0,0) and (3,5) to graph</h3>

The equation of this line is y = (5/3)x
