Define x :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the smallest number be x.
First number = x
Second Number = x + 1
Third Number = x + 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct equation :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
x(x+2) - (x+1) = 7(x+2) + 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Solve x :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
x(x + 2) - (x + 1) = 7(x + 2) + 1
x² + 2x - x - 1 = 7x + 14 + 1
x²- 6x - 16 = 0
<span>(x+2)(x-8) = 0
</span>x = -2 or x = 8
Since x is a positive integer, it cannot be negative.
⇒x = 8

Answer:
Y=2x+4
Step-by-step explanation:
37 * 48 = 3 * (c - 140 )+ 2 *(c - 140 ) + ( c - 140 ) =>
37 * 48 = 6 * ( c - 140 ) =>
37 * 48 / 6 = c - 140 =>
37 * 8 = c - 140 =>
296 = c - 140 =>
c = 296 + 140 =>
c = 436 ounces.
