The sum of three consecutive integers is 72. What are the integers?

2 answers:

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 length of three boards added together is 7.2 meters. The second board is twice the length of the first. The third board is t

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Board 1 = 1.2m

Board 2 = 2.4m

Board 3 = 3.6m

Step-by-step explanation:

Board 1 = x

Board 2 = 2x

Board 3 = 3x
x + 2x + 3x = 6x

7.2 /6 = 1.2

Board 1 = 1.2

Board 2 = 2 (1.2) = 2.4

Board 3 = 3 (1.2) = 3.6

X=y^2 is x a function of y

oksano4ka [1.4K]

It is false that x is a function of y

<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>

The equation is given as:

x = y^2

Set y = 2

x = (2)^2

x = 4

Set y = -2

x = (-2)^2

x = 4

Different values of y give the same x value.

This means that x is not a function of y
